Across Uganda, many VET practitioners and in-company trainers face a common challenge: how to align training programmes with the fast-evolving demand for green and sustainable jobs. Limited access to digital tools, updated curricula, and opportunities for professional growth often make this task even harder. The GreenVET4U project is addressing this gap by equipping VET professionals with the skills, tools, and resources they need to deliver innovative training for the green economy.
Over the next few months GreenVET4U partners will be working on the development of the set of e-learning courses that will soon be available on the e-Learning Platform — a digital space designed to support the continuous professional development of VET practitioners and in-company trainers in Uganda.
These upcoming courses will help VET professionals strengthen their skills and capacity to design and deliver innovative curricula for Green Jobs, becoming true agents of change in their institutions and communities. Each course will address one of the six Building Blocks for the Design and Delivery of Innovative Curricula in Skills for Green Jobs, focusing on key areas that are essential for modern vocational education:
- Building partnerships between businesses and education for curriculum design and work-based learning.
- Identifying the skills needed for green jobs.
- Introducing green entrepreneurship into training programmes.
- Integrating digital technologies into the curriculum.
- Promoting inclusion, diversity, and civic participation in training delivery.
- Ensuring quality assurance and validation of competences through digital tools.
Through the GreenVET4U e-Learning Platform, users will also access other valuable resources such as the Guide on Digital Competencies for Virtual Learning and the Lesson Plan, both aimed at helping trainers adapt their teaching to modern, digital environments. The e-learning courses, together with the upcoming GreenVET4U Competence Assessment Webapp, will provide trainers with practical tools to guide, assess, and validate learners’ skills for Green Jobs
