The Skills for Sustainability award has been announced as part of the Skills for the Carbon Challenge.

The Skills for Sustainability award recognises educational providers that deliver outstanding nationally-recognised training programs, products and work practices.

To nominate for this award, an educational institution must demonstrate how they are delivering outstanding skills for sustainability and also indicate which programs, products, and work practices adhere to social, economic, or environmental sustainability principles.

The Skills for Sustainability award is a single, national award and will be presented at the Australian Training Awards. The award was developed as part of the response to the 2020 Summit held in 2008.
