At NECC, we believe that promoting sustainability is not only an environmental imperative but also an educational opportunity. Here are some ways our efforts are aligned:
Sustainability in Vocational Training
We actively involve our students in sustainability projects, providing them with valuable vocational skills:
- Recycling Initiatives: Students collect single-stream recycling daily from offices, classrooms, and communal spaces. Consumers in our adult program are also involved in areas otherwise unavailable during the school day.
- Specialized Recycling Programs: Students disassemble materials like books and office supplies, sort and weigh items and determine if items can be reused or need to be recycled.
Curriculum Supporting Environmental Skills
The ACE system includes lessons that teach learners practical environmental skills:
- Sorting recyclable materials versus trash.
- Steps for effective recycling.
- Gardening skills
If your team is engaging in sustainability practices that aren’t currently reflected in ACE’s curriculum, we’d love to hear from you! Please contact our Help Desk so we can expand our lesson library and benefit learners across the globe.
