PAE-13: Staff Professional Development in Sustainability

Institution makes available training and/or other professional development opportunities in sustainability to all staff at least once per year.

Separate training opportunities for each department would count for this credit, as long as each staff member has an opportunity to learn about sustainability at least once per year.  

It is not necessary that each staff member attend such trainings; the credit is based on making training available to all staff. 

Training for faculty members about incorporating sustainability into the curriculum, which is covered by ER Credit 14: Incentives for Developing Sustainability Courses, does not count for this credit. 

The following training opportunities are not sufficient for this credit:

• Specialized training for a small group of staff
• The opportunity to participate in an institutional sustainability committee or group

This credit applies to all institutions. 

Institutions earn 2 points for meeting the criteria outlined above.   Partial points are not available for this credit.
