The aim of this project is to create awareness about Australian and international education policy and practice, specifically impediments and incentives relative to continuing education and training provided by industry, government and vocational providers in the built environment. The project outcomes include determining the potential opportunities required to effectively develop and implement policy and programs; to increase workforce participation in continuing professional development (CPD) for energy efficiency and carbon reduction in the built environment.

In 2013, ASBEC released the Sustainability Skills Collaboration Framework. The round table looks to explore a set of impediments, incentives and international examples aimed at developing a long-term implementation framework to increase policy and program consistency, participation, and recognition of sustainability programs across the whole building process in Australia.

The discussion handbook will be used to help participants gain an understanding of the project and begin a dialogue with participants leading up to the Low Carbon Living CRC Participant Forum. The aim of the session is to engage industry practitioners, government policy makers, education providers and researchers in a co-creation session to initiate the development of an advice framework and long-term implementation guide.
