The STEPS Program is the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand's training program for early career practitioners.

Presented by renowned industry expert Claire Gronow, this module will complement the theory underpinning environmental and impact assessment (EIA) with practical advice for early career professionals likely to be involved in coordinating or supporting EIA related projects.

Particpants will:

• Explore the historical justification and rationale for EIA together with results of research on costs and benefits of EIA
• Examine legislative, policy and institutional arrangements and identify enabling factors for effective EIA
• Understand screening and the type and level of EIA to use in different situations
• Explore the roles, responsibilities and perceptions of the various players in the EIA process
• Explore ways that early career professionals can maximize on-the-job learning and development when participating in EIA related projects in the workplace.

Learning activities will consist of a guided reading exercise and a face to face training session. A reading guide will be issued two weeks before the event. This event will attract 1 CEnvP point per hour.
