The project seeks to strengthen an employability ecosystem in green businesses for vulnerable young people with technical training in green competences. It promotes green youth employment by increasing private-sector labour demand, working with companies committed to environmental sustainability.
It incorporates a gender equity approach through affirmative measures for young women and fosters technological innovation and the digitalisation of labour market intermediation. It prioritises the quality of green employment and facilitates labour market entry through work-based learning, mentoring and coordination with municipalities and companies.
It aims to improve young people's skills, strengthen the capacities of green businesses, create green employment certifications and link up with other initiatives to generate sustainable jobs.
Strengthening the green employment ecosystem by linking training supply (technical and soft skills) with the demand of green businesses. The project is developed with a gender approach. A green employment certification system will be developed and the green business environment will be improved, promoting the sustainable creation and maintenance of green jobs.
To implement the project, it will work with training institutions (6 technical institutes and universities), strengthening young people with green skills, as well as with businesses (green businesses, businesses in the process of greening, or green start-ups), from which it seeks to capture demand for work placements and employment.
The three levels of government will develop the legal framework that provides support and sustainability for the actions generated. To support the ecosystem, the project will establish links with strategic actors: financial institutions and the Bolivian Institute for Standardisation and Quality (IBNORCA), with whom it seeks to strengthen green businesses.
