A brief description of how the employee educators are selected (2nd program):
The Office of Sustainability worked with Facilities Management administration to provide a train-the-trainers program specifically for Building Service Workers (BSWs) and their building foremen. Foremen (approximately 75) were required to attend this training, who then required their staff (totalling approximately 225) to attend subsequent training sessions.

A brief description of the formal training that the employee educators receive (2nd program):
At the foremen training, Office of Sustainability staff were joined by representatives from Rochester Midland Corporation, provider of campus green cleaning chemicals, and a representative from Recycling Services, Inc., one of the UIC recycling providers. The training session included: an explanation of the campus sustainability commitments; information about how the recycling program on campus is designed to function and what the expectation of services workers should be; a presentation on where recycled materials from campus end up; and a presentation on the operational differences between conventional cleaning supplies and the green cleaning supplies UIC now uses. The foremen were then expected to bring this information to their BSWs, and the Office of Sustainability participated in 4 follow-up recycling trainings for BSW shifts on both sides of campus.
