1000 free training places available for Queensland tourism businesses

If your staff are confused about how the new carbon tax will impact your business and how they can help to reduce your GHG emissions through integrated sustainable tourism practices, we have great news to share!

EarthCheck/ EC3 Global and the Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) are making 1000 places available free of charge, to help Queensland tourism businesses up-skill staff to better understand the challenges and opportunities resulting from the new carbon economy.

To qualify for participation, businesses must operate within the tourism industry and have an office in Queensland. This means if your company operates globally, but has offices in Queensland, your staff can take advantage of this great opportunity.

Two Nationally Accredited course options are available; each enable participants to implement sustainable workplace practices in your business.

TESTIMONIAL

"With sustainability being more widely adopted by businesses, this training course was relevant to what is needed for a systematic approach to sustainable business operation.

Whether well advanced or just starting out on the road to developing an environmental management plan, the course guides you through the necessary steps required for an organisation to include sustainability as part of their core business activities. We found the content extremely helpful in consolidating our sustainability activities and formalising our environmental action plans."
