European Steel Day 2012 - Session 3: The importance of green skills in a changing steel industry
28.06.2012
The EU has recognised the need to move towards a low-carbon and resource-efficient economy and has responded with the new Europe 2020 strategy. The EU has also acknowledged the critical role of green skills and jobs to support a low-carbon economy. However, there appear to be very few strategic responses that are specifically designed to develop green skills. There’s a real need of teaching a greater number of generic skills - such as improving resource efficiency in the workplace, understanding environmental legislation and green management and communication - will however become increasingly more pertinent for European industry. The project “Greening Technical VET” will be presented in a session that aim at understanding the expectations from the EU institutions on the one hand and present the various on-going studies and projects on the issue of green skills (especially GT VET).
