The environmental competence of Turku Vocational Institute (TAI) staff will be strengthened through a training path in sustainable development. Everyone working at TAI will complete at least the basic-level sustainability training. It will include completing The Handprint of a Professional training provided by SYKLI Environmental College and familiarising oneself with TAI’s sustainability material and playing the game attached to the material.
How to complete the training:
- Complete the course Introduction to Sustainability on Professional’s Handprint online courses. The course provides comprehensive basic information on sustainable development and the green transition.
- Carefully read the contents of this sustainability material and follow the links. The sustainability material describes how TAI takes sustainable development into account in its activities.
