This Guideline Brief has been written to assist with the uptake and customisation of any of the three new Guideline Competency Standards for Sustainability (GCSS) within the training packages covered by the Construction and Property Services Industry Skills Council (CPSISC).
The guideline standards being:
- GCSSUS01A “Participate in environmentally sustainable work practices“
- GCSSUS02A “Implement and monitor environmentally sustainable work practices”
- GCSSUS03A “Develop workplace policy and procedures for sustainability”
This Guideline Brief aims to provide CPSISC and the range of consultants, training providers, customers and other stakeholders involved in developing and delivering CPSISC Training Packages (TPs) with an overview of the core elements and specific examples of sustainability in relation to the various sectors, including training opportunities. It also provides guidance on some of the available resources for training and assessment of workers in the construction and property sectors.
Once the units are taken up and customised within CPSISC training packages, they can be contextualised for specific training needs across the industry. CPSISC is currently supporting the Guideline Competency Standards for Sustainability for endorsement in a number of TPs managed by them in 2007.
