2) Identification and focus on benefits realisation provided by green skills,
environmental awareness, and considerations of sustainability factors within vocation
education and training programmes, sectors, and centres. In particular, the focus on
tangible non-financial benefits is a key factor. Increasing support for and installing
small ecological projects by prioritising training centre budgets, then receiving at least
partial compensation, provides direct benefits realisation to the centre and learners.
3) Providing opportunities for professional development and support for teachers and
trainers looking to undertake professional development linked to green skills and
environmental sustainability facilitates green skills within the pedagogical staff and
indirectly filters down to the learners. This supports the practice of trainers as
champions. This can include teacher-led curriculum development sessions and linking
with other European VET centres working towards the same objective to carry out
peer-to-peer development opportunities and shared best practices.
