Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to identify explicit and embedded sustainability skills within training packages and accredited courses, and apply requirements to learning programs associated with the development of competence.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Research sustainability skill requirements of an industry area
- 1.1. Identify sustainability issues and practices in relation to a specific industry area
- 1.2. Investigate current and emerging practices in relation to sustainability in the specific industry area
- 1.3. Evaluate various approaches to building these into training practice and processes
- 1.4. Identify specialist sustainability practitioners and seek advice as required
2. Determine sustainability skills relevant to training
- 2.1. Analyse and document relevant sustainability skills in the training specification
- 2.2. Identify potential or implicit sustainability skills in the training specification
- 2.3. Document these skills as part of the learning and assessment strategy
3. Customise program to incorporate sustainability skills
- 3.1. Select and customise or develop learning and assessment materials linked to the required sustainability skills and appropriate for the training specification and training context
- 3.2. Document customised program
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Specific industry means:
a specific industry area or sector area in which the candidate usually trains or assesses.
Sustainability skills include:
technical skills, knowledge, values and attitudes needed in the workforce to develop and support sustainable social, economic and environmental outcomes in business, industry and the community, as defined in the National Green Skills Agreement December 2009.
Training specification may include:
training package units of competency
learning outcomes from accredited courses with a vocational outcome
non-accredited industry specific learning programs.
Potential or implicit sustainability skills may include:
areas of the training specification where the achievement of the performance criteria has an implied sustainable or green skills context (e.g. increasing fuel efficiency in a performance criteria related to effective use of powered equipment).

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Assessment must address the scope of this unit and reflect all components of the unit. A range of appropriate assessment methods and evidence-gathering techniques must be used to determine competency. A judgement of competency should only be made when the assessor is confident that the required outcomes of the unit have been achieved and that consistent performance has been demonstrated.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
identify sustainability skill issues in at least two different training products
provide documentation setting out training products and learning strategies that incorporate sustainability skills
provide outlines of how those sustainability skills are to be incorporated into training and assessment approaches.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Evidence must be gathered in the workplace wherever possible. Where no workplace is available, a simulated workplace must be provided.
Method of assessment
Guidance information for assessment
