Green at You equips people for the new green and digital jobs through skilling and re-skilling in 4 key sub-sectors with a circular economy approach:
Given the growth and great potential for generating employment in the green sector, Green at You aims to make these job opportunities more inclusive and egalitarian by facilitating access to the sector for people in vulnerable situations and thus reducing their risk of exclusion.
The project will make an exhaustive analysis of the technical skills needed to access these jobs with the help of companies and experts.
It will also match the EU competence frameworks EntreComp, GreenComp and DigComp supported by EU level consultations to identify the key transversal competences for these jobs.
1. To build alliances in Europe to connect the new jobs generated by the ecological transition with people in vulnerable situations, taking advantage of green jobs to reduce social exclusion and fight against the gender divide in certain masculinized green subsectors.
2. To adapt and make innovative improvements in the VET offered by educational and public and private employment services providers to better answer the demand of professional profiles by the labour market.
3. To identify and integrate in the training offer for green jobs the appropriate digital competences in order to impact positively in the green sector optimizing their processes.
4. To improve and increase the employability of disadvantaged people in the green sector.
Green at You is based on a social innovation methodology to adapt and make innovative improvements in the VET offered by educational and public and private employment services providers: starting from an in-depth analysis of the challenge, the needs and opportunities of the sector for employment and entrepreneurship, and then devising and piloting a series of micro-credential certified training modules for groups at risk of social exclusion.
The project builds on the results already generated by the Green Jobs Platform in Spain, providing more specific content to expand its training offer in specific subsectors and facilitating the transfer of the successful elements of this initiative to other European countries.
The consortium will develop 58 training modules supported by micro-credentials. These modules are designed to enhance the employability and entrepreneurship skills of 480 individuals at risk of exclusion across Europe. The training will be structured as hybrid itineraries, allowing participants to acquire key skills through in-person classes, while also providing access to additional learning materials online
In addition, the project will carry out a series of actions to raise awareness and involve a strong network of alliances between key actors, employers, experts and policy makers.
Their contributions to the analysis of needs and opportunities and active involvement during the implementation of the project will be fundamental to design sustainable and scalable training solutions.

Green at You aims to increase the employability of groups with more difficulties to access the labour market by providing them the key green, digital and entrepreneurial skills that the labour market need, by microcredentials, to take advantage of the opportunities generated by the emerging green sectors.
Among those groups, the project focuses on:
NEETs: In 2021, they represented 13.1% among the 15-29 year-olds in Europe. According to Eurostat, this percentage was higher for young women (14.5%) than for young men (11.8%).
Women: The EU employment rate for men of working age was 77.2% in 2020, exceeding that of women (66.2 %) by 11.0 percentage points according to Eurostat. Also, there is a green gender gap that has not improved since 2015. Globally, in 2021 there are only 62 women for every 100 men considered green talent.
People with migrant background: The employment rate in the EU among native-born people with a native background was 75% in Q2 2021. However, slightly more than two thirds of foreign-born people (67%) were employed at that time.
People in vulnerable situations: Long-term unemployed, lower educated adults, people over 45, victims of violence or people at risk of poverty often have less opportunities to fully participate in training and employment.
