Within this context, in 2009, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) signed the Green Skills Agreement (GSA) to ensure that skills for sustainability are an integral component of all vocational education training29. As defined by the COAG GSA30, these include technical skills, knowledge, values and attitudes needed in the workforce to develop and support sustainable social, economic and environmental outcomes in business, industry and the community. Initiatives are being implemented under the Green Skills Agreement Implementation Plan which was presented to the Ministerial Council for Tertiary Education and Employment (MCTEE) in June 2010. The focus is on skills in emerging industries and occupations (as analysed in Chapter 2), as well as on improving sustainability skills within existing skills and occupations.
