Greening TVET

Greening TVET is the process of adapting knowledge and practices to align them with the overall concept of sustainability. “Greening” goes far beyond simply what is taught. Greening reaches into all aspects of the institution’s operations or enterprises.

When adapted to an institution's educational and training activities, greening could lead to an incremental and systematic change that has an impact on the practices, culture and mindset.

The process of greening TVET institutions invites those involved in training and learning to engage in a whole-institution approach. This approach seeks to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes that can lead to more sustainable practices in the community, the workplace and other settings where knowledge and skills could be applied. It can also lead to obtaining professional qualifications or proofs of learning that reflect environment-friendly skills. As a whole, the approach develops enabling capacities that make people active members of green economies, sustainable and climate resilient societies, and enable them to pursue lifelong and decent work.

Greening TVET is an essential and cross-cutting theme for sustainable development. It refers to the efforts to reorient and reinforce existing TVET institutions and policies in order to reinforce achievement of sustainable development. Thus, greening TVET acknowledges the relationship between sustainable development and green development and clarifies different definitions of green jobs and green skills as well.



Making environment and life sustainability the core around which TVET programmes are developed and delivered, and TVET placed in practice.
