Skills for the Green Transformation

What is it about?

The Skills for the Green Transformation knowledge products showcase good practice examples of approaches, tools, processes, and initiatives that contribute to developing the skills needed to achieve the green transformation.
The information is available through a Toolkit and a Dashboard.

How does it work?

The Skills for the Green Transformation Toolkit is an interactive PDF that showcases good practice examples of approaches and process steps in achieving green transformation. The Toolkit is divided into eight approaches, with multiple examples of projects in each. These approaches describe what is being done right now on green skills and how the approach contributes to achieving the “green transformation”.

The Skills for the Green Transformation Dashboard is a mapping of projects from VET toolbox partners that contribute to developing green skills and becoming more sustainable. Projects include a wide range of context-specific examples and initiatives on green transformation which stakeholders and interested parties can view by country, SDG, sectoral focus, and other filters.

The Toolkit and Dashboard are designed to be utilised separately or together and provide a listing and overview of the different approaches, tools, processes, and initiatives that have been elaborated by GIZ, the VET Toolbox partners (AFD, Expertise France, the British Council, Enabel and LuxDev), and other actors who are leading in the field (e.g. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), International Labour Organisation (ILO), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)).

Additional resources

To convey key concepts and expedite the use of these tools, a colourful poster and four animated videos have been developed: separate explainer videos for the Dashboard and the Toolkit, an overview of skills needed for the green transformation, and a summary video to communicate to a broader audience.
