What is interesting about the perceived benefits are that they predominantly convey
relatively early-stage benefits of a green strategy such as economic benefits,
perception of the VET centre, increasing awareness and providing accurate
information to stakeholders.

Although it can be argued that several of the benefits can also be realised in other
specific aspects of a green strategy implementation, it is arguably reflective of the
current state of environmental and sustainable awareness within the vocational
education and training sector that Future Workforce, Professional Development and
Stakeholder Buy-In is not mentioned.

The challenges to implementation highlighted through the stakeholder feedback
interestingly reflected many of the opposite thematic areas than that of the perceived
benefits.
