GGAA 2012 - TAFE & Smaller Institutions - TAFE NSW Western Sydney Institute - Winner

Totally switched on to Sustainability

For TAFE NSW – Western Sydney Institute, sustainability is more than just a single program or initiative; it embraces social inclusion and environmental outcomes for the community including tailored programs where refugees learn English language skills in the context of working in hands-on food production where they can utilise their traditional agricultural, using contemporary sustainability methods. Similarly, our involvement in global programs such as International WaterKeepers Alliance, United Nations Regional Centre for Expertise is bringing sustainability life and leading the region in environmental sustainability training for a sustainable future.

Commitment to reducing our own carbon footprint is evidenced by significant reduction in energy and water consumption, purchase of accredited green energy and solar cells generating energy. Our industry partnerships have resulted in new and emerging technologies and world class facilities enabling delivery of greenskills training to individuals, communities and industry learners.
