Skills for green jobs
The report ‘Skills for Green Jobs’ aims to illustrate how greening of the
economy in the course of environmental protection influenced the
establishment of green skills and green jobs in Germany. Environmental
protection has been on the centre of public debates since decades and
legislation and increments of awareness have influenced the restructuring
of economic sectors and occupational competences. The following report
gives an overview about the development of greening, its influence on the
labour market and creation of green jobs in Germany. The German response
on greening, with main focus on the skills response is illustrated and
assessed. As major methodology desk research, interviews and eight case
studies are used. The case studies give a practical insight in the
greening process of existing occupations and the establishment of new
occupations. The skills response on greening followed an integrative
approach rather than specialising. For the future development a further
integration for non-environmental occupations needs to be pursued and a
higher occupational specialisation for the environmental sector.
