Welcome to GreenSkills

Greenskills aims to build effective, vibrant, cross-sector partnerships that actively engage workers with employers and other relevant green focussed groups. Greenskills is Australia's first initiative that incorporates sustainability into every day practice through dedicated training programs. Skills for sustainability are critical for the success of the economy’s future. Understanding and embracing issues around climate change will create job opportunities. Workforce development is critical for the success of any organisation and an individual’s future.

With assistance from the Government, WPC Group has launched Australia’s first youth based employment program dedicated to implementing training programs and developing work related skills with a sustainability focus. Greenskills offers training, mentoring and work placement opportunities for young Australians as they make the critical transition from school to work.

Green Jobs are the Jobs of the Future

‘Green jobs’ are the jobs of the future – and are vital for transitioning to a lower carbon economy.

Early research has shown that young Australians are amongst those most motivated to protect and preserve the environment. Do you believe working in a environmentally sustainability workplace would offer you more meaningful and fulfilling work? ??As part of a national survey, we would like to hear from you. The Survey will take around 5 minutes. This investment in your time may help shape policy and direction in Australian workplaces.

A word from Rob Gell



I would like to invite you to join this very exciting initiative. The ‘green economy’ will require both new skilled occupations and skills development in traditional occupations. The ‘green economy’ will grow through the creation and expansion of innovative organisations that offer solutions based on new cultures, new skill sets, and efficient technologies.

There are three drivers for this innovation: global warming and measures to address climate change - decarbonisation of the economy; customer demand for products and services that minimise their environmental footprint - supply chain solutions for mitigating risk and enhancing reputational value and; the need to restore and rehabilitate environmental mistakes of the past. These drivers will give rise to real employment opportunities.

Rob Gell
Greenskills Chairman
