Green Skills: Preparing Learners for the Green Economy
Session Overview
This video was part of the June 2022 REMOTE: The Connected Faculty Summit
We are in the midst of a transition to a greener economy that will create new jobs (the International Labor Organization predicts 24 million by 2030) and impact existing ones. In response to these changes, it is important that learners develop the green skills needed to thrive in this changing economy.
In this session, explore research-based ways to prepare your learners for this future by identifying key green skills and getting practical advice on how to teach and assess them.
