As a community focused on education, the University of Tasmania holds professional development and growth as integral to how we operate. Professional development is a conversation about staff careers, growing their capacity to do excellent work in their current role as well as developing their capabilities to play other roles.
The University Staff Subsidy Assistance Waiver is a program that covers the fees for any combination of units up to a maximum of 25 credit points each calendar year for staff enrolled in a Commonwealth Supported Place. Units do not need to be directly related to their work area, hence staff can undertake any sustainability unit offered by the University.
Other examples of internal sustainability professional development and training opportunities that the institution makes available to non-academic staff include:
- Short courses in environment and sustainability through the University short courses (https://www.utas.edu.au/study/short-courses)
- Learning and Teaching Resources (via My Learning Online (MyLO) software) such as 'An Introduction to Sustainability at UTAS'
- Equity and Diversity (via My Learning Online (MyLO) software) such as 'Appropriate Workplace Behaviour'
- Health and Wellbeing training such as Mental Health First Aid (face to face).
