Greenskills - Greenskills. Jobs for a sustainable future

Why Australia needs Green Skills?

Our GreenSkills initiative helps the nation respond to the challenges of climate change. This is important to protect the future productivity of the Australian economy and with that, the continuing prosperity of Australian businesses and industries and continuing employment opportunities for young  Australians.

Skills for sustainability define?

The Green Skills Agreements defines skills for sustainability in the following terms: Skills for sustainability, also known as green skills, are the technical skills, knowledge, values and attitudes needed in the workforce to develop and support sustainable social, economic and environmental outcomes in business, industry and the community.

What needs to happen?

The transition of Australian industries, businesses and households to a low carbon, energy efficient and socially and environmentally sustainable economy will be achieved more effectively when the Vocational Education and Training sector has the capacity to deliver the requisite knowledge and skills for sustainability to new and existing workers.
