Guide for the mainstreaming of the environmental perspective in the training process
The Ministry of Labor and Social Security of Uruguay, the National Institute of Employment and Vocational Training (INEFOP), the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the Inter-American Center for Knowledge Development in Vocational Training (Cinterfor) are pleased to present this practical tool that aims to contribute to the mainstreaming of the environmental perspective in the supply of vocational training.
The transition to a greener economy will affect employment in several ways: jobs will be created in new emerging green sectors, such as renewable energies, where the demand for goods and services is expanding; other jobs will be replaced as a result of industrial transformation; most existing jobs will have to be redefined according to new requirements for work profiles and methods; and, finally, jobs without direct substitution will be eliminated, for example, as a result of the prohibition of the use of certain productive or extractive methods.
In order to support this transition, minimizing its negative impact on the world of work and with an inclusive and sustainable perspective that allows taking advantage of the creative and transformative potential of employment as well as promoting the necessary change, countries must invest in public policies aimed at updating, training and capacity building for individuals and companies. For this reason, within the framework of the joint actions of the PAGE Program in Uruguay, it has been decided to advance in the development of a guide to support this process of revision and updating of training programs.
The guide is aimed at curriculum designers, heads of Training Entities (ECA), coordinators, facilitators, in-company internship tutors, and INEFOP teams (technicians responsible for the design of calls for proposals, evaluation of offers and evaluation of offers).
training offers, evaluation of offers and projects, supervision of training actions, managers, directors, among others).
It presents methodological guidelines and practical tools that the various actors and teams involved in the design and implementation of courses can apply, both to adjust and improve existing programs and to design new training proposals.
