GreenVET Framework

The GreenVET Framework familiarizes VET-teachers and VET-administration with the intersection of vocational education and training and the Green Transition. It provides an entry point for taking a green perspective on the VET-sector. While delivering a compact summary, it also provides resources to dive deeper if desired and presents best practices from the VET-sector.


The framework contains five modules and an annex:

  • Module 1 - Grasping the European Green Deal and its implications for VET
  • Module 2 - Agenda 2030: Exploring Education for Sustainable Development
  • Module 3 - Understanding Green Competencies and their relevance to VET
  • Module 4 - Fostering a green mindset through a Whole Institution Approach
  • Module 5 - GreenVET database - A manual to our sharing tool for resources
