Green Jobs Ambassadors
About the project
The “Green Jobs Ambassadors” project is part of the European Union’s efforts to achieve a climate-neutral continent by 2050. As part of our initiative, we will focus on the social, youth and economic dimensions of the environmental transition set by the European Green Deal.
Our activities will be aimed at supporting young people who are just entering adulthood and beginning their professional adventure. We believe that young people should enter the labor market equipped with the competencies of the future and ordered in modern professions. Therefore, we want to promote green professions and encourage young people to choose green career paths. The main objective of the project is to adapt vocational education and training to the needs of the labor market, through the creation of modern workshops to support the development of green competencies and the promotion of green professions among young people from vocational technical schools, which will allow them to better find their way in the green labor market after the implementation of the European Green Deal.

Effects of the project
We trained 3,000 students from Polish, Italian, Spanish and Estonian vocational and technical schools. We developed innovative workshop scenarios that include a series of practical exercises that show how green jobs lend themselves to conserving natural resources and reducing negative environmental impact. We engaged 28 green jobs ambassadors to implement the workshops. For our materials, we also created a methodological manual describing the course of the workshop, and included practical tips for working with young people. In each partner country we realized a dissemination conference during which we presented the results of our activities and encouraged the use of the workshop materials we created.
