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 :
Each semester, Unity's Staff Group hosts a 1/2-day professional development program and typically includes sustainability activities. Recent activities have included staff service in the campus food gardens and a tour of the LEED Platinum, net-zero energy Unity House.
Unity's pre-semester convocation for all employees includes updates on the business of the institution and incorporates appropriate sustainability-themed professional development activities. In 2010, the sustainability office led a presentation on Unity's climate action planning efforts. In 2011, the winter convocation included a presentation of the Unity College energy assessment with an emphasis on weatherization activities that employees could perform at home.
