Meeting skill needs for the green transition : skills anticipation and VET for a greener future

This publication, the fourth in a series of practical Cedefop skills anticipation guides, was developed in collaboration with UNESCO-UNEVOC. It focuses on skills intelligence and VET for the green transition. The guide highlights the value of sound skills intelligence and smart governance in supporting the green transition, showcasing how VET can make a practical impact. It explains how skills anticipation and governance can drive greening efforts, and how apprenticeship, upskilling, reskilling, validation, and micro credentials can contribute to a greener future. Good practice examples from Europe and beyond illustrate how to translate green ambitions for VET and skills into policy implementation. The insights and examples in this publication complement the strategies and resources jointly showcased by UNESCO-UNEVOC and Cedefop in an accompanying guide, further supporting the vision of a greener and more innovative VET system.
