THE GREEN JOBS PROGRAMME
BY DUBAI CARBON
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Dubai Carbon Centre of Excellence has taken the lead in this
endeavor creating a collaborative Green Jobs Programme.
This will be an umbrella framework under which green
jobs and education will be tackled in a number of initiatives
conceived to achieve the following goals:
• S
hed light on green jobs and education for sustainable
development
• Create a data repository for green jobs
• Connect the relevant stakeholders for green employment
OUTCOME
• Qualitative Research
• Quantitative Research
• Database Development
• Green Jobs Group on LinkedIn
• Company Presentations
• Green Jobs Fair
• Knowledge Sharing Platform
• High Level Panel Discussions
• Newsletter
Given its collaborative nature, the Green Jobs Programme
will involve key stakeholders in all of the initiatives:
governmental institutions, educational providers, and
industry and jobs seekers.
PROJECT APPROACH
The Programme is based on three pillars. Pillar 1 focuses on quantitative research on net green
employment and qualitative research on occupations, skill needs and training provision in four different
sectors relevant to the green economy (i.e. renewable energies, green building, waste management,
and sustainable transport). This pillar also foresees a green jobs database development. Pillar 2
facilitates youth employment by creating a number of platforms to connect green job seekers and the
industry using social media, public exhibitions and company presentations. Under Pillar 3, a knowledge
sharing platform and a series of events will inform on best practices and the latest developments on
green jobs at national and international levels. The Programme per se is a strong tool for capacity
building on green jobs, stakeholder’s engagement on education for sustainable development and
green employment facilitation.
