A brief description of any internal sustainability professional development and training opportunities that the institution makes available to staff:
All staff are invited to an annual "Discovery Day", which is an all-day event for College employees to partake in a variety of professional development workshops. Discovery Day 2019 had an emphasis on sustainability. Employees were encouraged to carpool to the event, bring their own dishes for lunch to reduce waste, and join in on a lunchtime discussion on sustainable lifestyle choices. Sustainable Selkirk hosted a sustainability-themed workshop. The keynote speaker was Wyle Baoween, CEO HRx. Baoween's firm reviews values, policies, and processes of an organization, seeking to enhance equity, diversity and inclusivity. He also offered a workshop at the 2019 Discovery Day.
A brief description of any external professional development and training opportunities in sustainability that are supported by the institution(e.g. through payment, reimbursement, or subsidy):
Every year, non-faculty staff are offered the opportunity to attend some form of sustainability-related training. Both Exempt and Support Staff have a PD fund that they can draw upon to attend training, and free courses are offered at the College as well. The courses generally focus on Social Sustainability; for example, a course for employees in Hostile Interactions was hosted at the College, addressing Earth Charter Principle IV: Democracy, Non-Violence, and Peace.
