A brief description of any internal sustainability professional development and training opportunities that the institution makes available to non-academic staff:

The Centre for Intercultural Engagement at Langara aims to create a sense of belonging and a safe environment for Langara’s students, employees, and communities to thrive by building respectful relationships, and intentionally advocating for change within systems of inequity and discrimination.

We offer intercultural competency training to academic and non-academic staff to build the skills required to value difference and bridge perspectives. This training helps ensure that all employees understand what Langara considers appropriate and inappropriate behaviour towards people based on their race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation. This training includes an Employee Intercultural Engagement Certificate Program as well as a course available to students called Introduction to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Intercultural Spaces.


A brief description of any external professional development and training opportunities in sustainability that are supported by the institution :

Langara offers the opportunity for interested staff to attend the annual AASHE conference paid for by the institution, and several staff have done so in the last 3 years.

Additionally, sustainability training and professional development (e.g., LEED accreditation) is covered via a training budget that staff can access in general and on case by case basis.
