Green Steps Program

News

The Green Steps Survey results are now in!

 

The Green Steps Australian Workplace Survey has found;

  • Most workplaces offer no green skills or sustainability training for staff, yet a strong majority fovour green-skilled candidates when hiring.
  • Despite almost all describing themselves as "environmentally aware" workplaces, the majority do not review staff on environmental performance, nor address sustainability during inductionof new staff.

This is not good news for Australia. The workplace is the frontline when it comes to sustainability and if Australia wants to save water, cut carbon emissions and reduce our impact we need employees everywhere to be green skilled.

Australian workplaces are being infiltrated by a growing number of ‘green implants’ – everyday workers getting practical training in sustainability and reducing their organisations carbon emissions well ahead of an emissions trading scheme.

About

Green Steps turns talk and passion into action to create a sustainable future. Developed by students for students, this hands-on sustainability education and leadership program empowers participants with the skills and knowledge to drive environmentally sustainable practices within organisations and the wider community.

 

Through a combination of training, work-based placements and projects, Green Steps equips participants with the tools and confidence to be effective change-agents working within organisations towards sustainability. The Green Steps University course trains university students and the Green Steps@ Work course trains people already in the workforce.

 

Green Steps turned 10 this year and celebrated this achievement with its national alumni, host universities and supporters at an event in Melbourne in July. This unique program has run over 40 courses, trained over 450 participants and partnered with over 300 organisations Australia-wide, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to a sustainable future.
