Lean and Green – The Global Machine

A VALBEC (Victorian Adult Literacy and Basic Education Council) Professional Learning session presented by John Blake.

VALBEC presents another great Professional Learning Session presented by John Blake.

Research recently defined three inhibitors of sustainability development: Management adoption, communication, education. Are Australian RTOs contributing to the solution or the problem?

This session highlights pain-points and provides ideas for solutions in normalising Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) within vocational education and seeks to answer questions for students to graduate work ready and ESG savvy

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is UNESCO’s education sector response to the urgent 21st century challenges. Many schools conduct inclusive green projects, but often VET and Higher Education are not involved in personal or industry sustainability activities unless students are studying sustainability within their unit delivery.

• What are areas for focus?
• How can ESG become a part of the students’ and RTO’s daily routine?
• How can trainers incorporate ESG within units without increasing the curriculum workload?
• How can your RTO involve students for some quick-wins and creative ESG learning opportunities?

John is passionate about the opportunity to inspire educators to excel in enthusing learners. With more than 25 years in Australian and international teaching contexts (Teacher Education, Foundation Skills, Hospitality), John applies technology in the classroom to meet the needs of students using hands-on and interactive resources.

An accomplished conference presenter, John has taught in schools, TAFEs, private RTOs, prisons, industry, and universities across 20 countries re-inventing vocational education experiences and ringing theory alive through creative and contextualised delivery to support, engage and enable learners from all walks of life.

We look forward to seeing you there.
