A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:

NEW HIRE SESSION
One hundred percent (100%) of new employees are offered the opportunity to attend a new hire orientation session that covers high-level information about Seneca’s Au Large project, which includes sustainability as one of the main pillars and refers to Seneca’s Sustainability Plan. A link to additional resources about sustainability at Seneca is provided.

SENECA EMPLOYEE ELEARNING
New employees are added to the ‘Seneca Employee eLearning’ organization once they are hired.

Seneca is committed to expanding its access and support to all students and employees with disabilities, by having as its goal a barrier-free learning and working environment to enable academic and employment success. It is the goal to make Seneca barrier-free by 2025 by being proactive in having services, policies and procedures, including services and facilities more accessible to the needs of all people with disabilities.

Courses in the Seneca Employee eLearning include:
1. Customer Service for People with Disabilities
2. Accessibility Awareness for Educators
3. IASR & OHRC (Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation and the Ontario Human Rights Code)

These eLearning courses directly support the SDGs that relate to quality education, inclusivity and reduced inequality, such as SDG4, SDG8, SDG10, SDG11 and SDG17.
