Colleges rarely give priority to analysing costs, resources and wastage involved in producing prospectuses, course and learner handbooks, therefore missing opportunities to cut carbon, save money and provide better learner information through a standardised personalised framework. This project analysed and evaluated those opportunities. Search 'Cut the Carbon' to find similar projects.
This sustainable development project aimed to reduce carbon emissions in apprenticeship provision with the use of free and inexpensive technology: This was a research project - in partnership with Vocational Innovation and the ALP Hampshire and Isle of Wight Network - to assess the impact of the use of freely available software solutions and inexpensive hardware, to deliver remote support, learning and assessment to apprentices in the work place, on an organisation's carbon emissions.

The Sustaining Our Future Framework aims to:
A. Build common understanding of what sustainable development is about, what it means for the sector and why the sector should collectively respond to it.
B. Alert providers to the business benefits of being a sustainable organisation, and how these benefits can be realised in an increasingly demand-led environment
C. Establish a common set of themes for action.
This project assesses the impact of 13 projects completed in the 2012-13 round of the LSIS Stepping Up in Sustainability Fund, as well as the key ingredients for success that could inform others looking to take forward similar projects.

The project built upon the success of the earlier Stepping Up in Sustainability project ("Stepping Up in Sustainability: South Thames College - Community Engagement on Green Skills and Low-carbon Zones"). The aim was to deepen the relationship the college has with the Furzedown Low Carbon Zone and the Greener Jobs Alliance and in particular to work with a local school and employer to promote sustainability. This was achieved along with a link up to HE and offering students community based assignments.
Through this project the college aimed to implement and embed a strategy and action plan for sustainable development across the college focusing on three key areas:
Staffing – embedding sustainable development in induction and appraisal
Students – embedding sustainable development in induction, enrichment & tutorial
Curriculum development – development of a sustainable development education curriculum framework
