Course Overview

This technical programme builds the capacity of researchers, institutions, and development practitioners to assess current and future demand for green employment, occupations, tasks, and skills. It links environmental and economic change with employer demand, workforce supply, training provision, inclusion, and decent-work considerations.

Participants learn to define the assessment scope, select sectors and occupations, design mixed-method tools, engage employers and training providers, analyse evidence, and convert findings into actionable recommendations for policy, TVET, employment services, and donor programming.

The programme is recommended for:

• Ministries of labour, environment, planning, education, and industry
• TVET authorities, universities, and training providers
• Labour-market observatories and research organizations
• Donor, UN, NGO, and development-programme teams
• Chambers, employer organizations, and trade unions
• Consultants, enumerators, analysts, and monitoring specialists
