Green skills to support the green transition of enterprises
Roheoskused ettevõtete rohepöörde toetamiseks
Background information
In order to support the green transition and corresponding developments in companies, it is necessary to provide green-specific skills to (future) workforce. Making use of the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility, current skill-development opportunities are updated and new modules are added.
The minister of education and research signed the directive 'Establishing the conditions for the grant to implement the investment 1 'Green skills to support the green transition of companies' of the Recovery and Resilience Fund Reform 'Enterprises' Green Transition'' on 30 June 2022.
Content of measure
The purpose of the measure is to create flexible learning opportunities in order to implement the green transition in companies.
As part of the measure, the following will be carried out:
-
the creation of new learning modules, re-training and continuing education programmes (including micro-credentials programmes);
-
integration of green skills into existing modules;
-
integration of green skills into existing (and if needed, into new) professional standards.
The study areas covered must be connected to green transition in higher education institutions and vocational education institutions (for example, transport, energy, construction, chemical sector, etc.). Green skills are defined as skills needed in jobs that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by improving energy and resource efficiency and include the wider adoption of circular economy principles.
The implementation of the measure will be completed by 30 June 2026. The budget is €15 million.
