If sustainability professional development and training opportunities for staff are made available or supported, provide at least one of the following:
A workshop is offered at least annually in person as an introduction to green office best practices. Participants view short (5 to 15 minute long) online modules, such as the Big Picture, Energy, the 6Rs, and Purchasing/Procurement, which were created by Dr. Maria Papadakis and Dr. Jennifer Coffman, faculty members in the Department of Integrated Science and Technology. Participants have the option of completing all of the modules independently at any time. Participants also watch a brief video about campus sustainability highlights and complete a worksheet recording implementation of certain actions. Approximately 22 non-academic staff (<1% of staff) per year take this training. The training counts toward the Administrative Assistant Certificate, but those in other roles also participate as the training also counts as training credit more broadly. Those completing the training receive a certificate in addition to JMU training credit. This training was originally called "Greening Your Office." The modules are collectively still called that but the overall title of the training was changed to "Greening Your Workspace" as of January 2019 to be more inclusive. Based on feedback from sustainability committee members, two levels of Greening Your Workspace participation are now offered - Acorn and Oak. Acorn level takes less than 30 minutes to complete, while the Oak level takes approximately 75 minutes and earns Training and Development credit. All participants receive an electronic logo to be added to their email signature.
