The Need
Based on TESDA’s 2018 labor market assessment, green industry sectors are expected to generate an additional 5.1 million jobs by 2025, presenting significant opportunities for green skilled Filipino workers. Unfortunately, the curricula of most Technical-Vocational Institutions (TVIs) do not incorporate the necessary green skills in the courses they offer, which contributes to a shortage of a green skilled workforce.
The Intervention
Project sustainABILITY is an initiative that involves the design and delivery of industry-relevant green skills and job readiness curriculum and pedagogy, training, and job placement in four key industry sectors – construction, automotives and land transportation, metals and engineering, and agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. In order to fill the green skill gap, sustainABILITY Project will engage with TVIs, instructors, and students in Metro Manila and Cebu by designing a comprehensive and industry-relevant curriculum and pedagogy, training, and job placement in four key industry sectors.
