The New European Network for the Green Skills in Vocational Education and Training or GreenVETnet is an ERASMUS+ KA220 project. The project’s work on the integration of sustainability themes in VET to enhance the sustainable development competences of staff has been ongoing and is now nearing completion.

One of the key questions posed by the project was how education, training and skills can develop and support the green transition.  Its focus is to identify core green skills in four key areas of VET:

• Tourism and Hospitality
• Business and Administration, 
• Transport and Logistics
•  Energy Saving Construction 

Its goal is to enhance the VET educators’ skills and knowledge on the potential for teaching sustainable practices within their subject areas.

The project produced a teacher toolkit which is available here: https://sakky.fi/en/greenvetnet-network-green-skills-vocational-education-and-training

This portal is a platform for peer-learning, exchange of experiences and know-how. It helps VET staff to identify best practices so that VET can act as a bridge to the sustainable development of working life and support the green transition. The GreenComp framework guided both the Learning, Teaching and Training activities (LTTAs) and the development of the Green Skills Toolkit which comprised the main work of the project.
