Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

In Vocational Qualifications, we recognise the UN developed SDGs as drivers to develop a more sustainable future for all. We use the SDGs to benchmark qualification content and new qualifications will include references to the SDGs.

Sustainability and our qualifications

In Vocational Qualifications we have several initiatives underway to help you explore the issues. These fall into three categories:

1. Supporting teaching of sustainability within existing qualifications and qualifications in development

  • We are ensuring that all newly developed qualifications map to UN Sustainability Development Goals, and sustainability skills. This will result in both sustainability focused units, and guidance to support implementation of specific suites.
  • T Levels contain sustainability content and skills needed by employers.
  • We have produced a BTEC National Sustainability Support Guide
  • Our International Level 2 and 3 BTECs contain sustainability content and units
