Innovation Power Hour: How to identify green skills and invest in green TVET (Live)

TVET plays an important role in steering the transition to a low-carbon economy and climate-resilient society. It is carried out through the traditional roles of TVET in preparing learners for occupational fields and increasing their participation in the world of work. These traditional roles are facing new expectations, including calls to adapt to better align with emerging green jobs and qualifications and contribute to the development of skills and competencies that power a more circular economy and sustainable culture.
