PAGE Guatemala coordinated the online course on “Green Jobs and Just Transition: Concepts and Practices”, held from 23 October 23 to 1 December 2024.
The primary aim of this training initiative was to enhance the capabilities of local stakeholders in Guatemala, empowering them to formulate and execute strategies that advance the principles of a green economy and green jobs using the International Labour Organization’s just transition methodology.
The course on green economy covered topics like green jobs, just transition, green companies, and green skills through five interactive modules and a Green Business Guide by ILO. It offered insights on policies and tools for creating green jobs and inclusive green companies with a focus on decent work and a just transition approach.
The CIF/ILO E-Campus hosted the course offering a virtual platform with tutor support, interactive modules, multimedia materials, exercises, discussion forums, and webinars with experts for in-depth learning. The culmination of the course required participants to present a final project, enabling them to structure and share their ideas for promoting green jobs and implementing a just transition in practice reflecting their institutional roles. From the 32 participants, 25 earned the certificate.
