Who Should Attend
This course is designed for individuals primarily seeking employment within conventional organisations and enterprises that do not have a specific emphasis on sustainability but are considering the recruitment of sustainability-related roles. It is not intended for those individuals who are interested in joining businesses with a well-established specialisation in the field of sustainability.
Overview
Through the visits, participants will gain a stronger understanding of the business, how sustainability is viewed and tackled within the industry sector and business opportunities created with sustainability.
Prior to the visit, participants are required to read up a case-let on the corporation. Following the visit, there will be a post-visit debrief and allocation of project questions. As part of the assessment, participants are required to do a project presentation for each corporation. Thematically, participants will be able to have a deeper understanding on these corporations and correlate it back to the 6 modules covered.
Note: This module is not available on a standalone basis.

- Understand why it is important for businesses to tackle sustainability issues in order to create more and better business opportunities
- Learn how each individual, organisation and system can start to analyse its behaviours and change towards more sustainable practices and models
