Course Overview

Most workers will contribute to the green transition through changes to existing jobs rather than by moving into entirely new occupations. This programme helps businesses and workers identify how everyday roles - including technical, administrative, operational, procurement, transport, hospitality, agricultural, and facility-management roles - can become greener.

The workshop connects environmental improvement with cost control, productivity, safety, quality, employability, and business resilience. Participants map job tasks and workplace practices, identify achievable improvements, and assign clear responsibilities for implementation.

Recommended for

The programme is recommended for:
