What is the resource about?
This report offers a clear overview of what “greening VET” actually means and how schools can start aligning their teaching, culture and operations with sustainability goals. It introduces the core concepts behind the green transition, sets out the skills learners will need, and shows how VET institutions can gradually embed sustainability across programmes, partnerships and daily practices. It also summarises lessons learned from Centres of Vocational Excellence that have already begun this transformation.
