ILO Training on Green Jobs

After a successful pilot and growing interest from constituents and donors, the ILO’s International Training Centre launches an open course on Green Jobs.

This course will target first and foremost the primary stakeholders in the world of work (trade unions, employers’ representatives, government agencies such as Ministries of Labour. But also other stakeholders such as Ministries of Environment, Ministries of Planning etc. who are looking at the social and economic impact of climate change would be interested.

The course combines distance learning preparatory work and follow-up support with a central face-to-face slot in Turin from 22 to 26 June. Cost of participation is €2,500, covering both tuition and subsistence for the 6 weeks training event.

Focus will be on the socio-economic impacts of climate change, with particular attention to the world of work. These impacts will be studied in terms of adaptation and mitigation, while a consistent part of the sessions will shed light on managing the transition towards a low-carbon economy in a just and inclusive way.  More information is available on our website http://greenjobs.itcilo.org
