Hello everyone!
Thanks for coming to the Voc Talk Café this week to discuss sustainability in the construction trades! If you weren’t able to make it, no worries! You can check out the summary below, and look at the recording and session notes on the Voc Talk Café by Après-cours website here!
Summary
The meeting aimed to explore sustainability in construction trades, emphasizing the need to blend traditional and innovative approaches, adaptability in trade skills, and the importance of green literacy in training. It also highlighted the diverse interests and goals of students in the construction industry Sustainability encompasses various aspects such as sustainable materials, energy, and has cultural and social dimensions. Traditionally, sustainability was associated with using natural materials and traditional construction methods. Today, it focuses more on longevity, reducing resource use, minimizing the carbon footprint, and promoting clean energy. The meeting emphasized the importance of incorporating discussions on mental health and creating a safe working environment for construction workers, as well as incorporating green literacy skills into learning situations.
Thanks to all who participated in the discussion! If you have an idea for a topic you would like to discuss with other VT teachers around the province, let me know and we can set up a Voc Talk Café!
I look forward to the next session!
