What’s in it for me?

The TLfS program is about giving you the opportunity to learn about issues of sustainability, while also gaining the knowledge and skills to become a leader in your future career. It will also enable you to gain;

An understanding of global and local sustainability issues
An understanding of leadership styles
The ability to work with others
The ability to manage a project
Interpersonal and leadership skills
Skills to think, communicate, & help others to act ethically
A "space" to learn together & support your fellow students
An understanding of how to integrate sustainability into your future career

And what's really important to understand is that all of the skills mentioned above are exactly what employers are looking for when hiring new employees. According to an Australian Report titled "Employability Skills for the Future" (ACC, 2002), the key skills needed to increase one's employability are:

communication
team work
problem-solving
initiative and enterprise
planning and organising
self-management
learning
technology

This means that completing the course will not only contribute to your personal understandings and skills, but you will also gain a Graduation Certificate that you can add to your resume when looking for employment. As the TLfS program builds this certificate will become highly valued by employers looking for talented staff.
