Does the institution make training and professional development opportunities in sustainability available to all staff?:
A brief description of the sustainability trainings and professional development opportunities available to staff :
Various funding opportunities are available - University Personnel Development grants focus on the development of university personnel, not programs. Typical development projects include attending a workshop or seminar that will enrich, improve, or expand expertise, or studying with a recognized performer or scholar. Academic Staff Professional Development and Classified Staff grants support development and training. New faculty and staff grants fund development projects.
The College of Natural Resources (CNR) Center for Land Use Development has numerous online publications, resources and workshops available, which are sustainability focused or related.
The CNR WI Center for Environmental Education offers professional development opportunities to formal and non-formal educators. Focus areas include Education for Sustainability, energy education, forestry education, climate change, sustainable transportation and outdoor education sites.
