Green TVET initiative to equip Ghanaian youth for emerging green jobs

The Green TVET Initiative and the National TVET Week therefore reflect a broader shift in Ghana’s approach to technical and vocational education, from conventional skills training towards a system that responds to technological change, environmental challenges and emerging opportunities in the labour market.

Some of the youth practicing some technical skills Ghana has launched an initiative to integrate green skills, climate resilience and sustainable innovation into Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

Aimed at ensuring TVET graduates acquire the practical knowledge and competencies required to participate in emerging green industries and contribute to sustainable economic development, the initiative also aligns with Ghana’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those relating to quality education, clean energy, decent work, sustainable industrialisation and climate action.
