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 :
UCLA has a professional development program (PDP) where staff work on projects in teams. There have been multiple teams that have focused on sustainability, one team produced a Staff and Faculty Sustainability Handbook that is now available online as a resource for all UCLA staff. Another team did research on recycling, and another team examined the potential of satellite offices in reducing GHG emissions and saving resources.
Through Staff Assembly, UCLA offers Learn at Lunch seminars on sustainability topics including recycling and office sustainability; these seminars are open to all staff.
