Professional Skills in Sustainability
September 5, 2018 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT
FreeThere is often a mismatch between the learning outcomes of higher education programs and the professional skills required for sustainability jobs. This webinar provides an overview of professional skills in sustainability and discusses activities for teaching and learning these skills. The professional skill domains include: effective and compassionate communication, collaborative teamwork, responsive project management, impactful stakeholder engagement, preventative self-care and advanced continuous learning. AASHE, recognizing the importance of teaching and learning professional skills in higher education, awarded the AASHE 2017 Campus Sustainability Research Award to the research on “Beyond Interpersonal Competence: Teaching and Learning Professional Skills in Sustainability,” which will be presented here.
