Background

A number of resources that will assist you in understanding more
about the role of sustainability in VET are located on the ‘Resource

PHASE I
The National Centre for Sustainability
worked throughout 2005 on 'Knowledge and Skills for Sustainability'
projects with a wide range of stakeholders from government, industry,
Industry Skills Councils, ITABS, RTOs and environmental educators
to develop the Guideline Competency Standards for Sustainability
(GCSS).
On the 3rd of May, 2005 the GCSS were officially
‘Noted’ by the National Training Quality Council. The
GCSS are located on the National Training Information Service website
(www.ntis.gov.au) and are now able to be imported into Training
Packages.
