Aims and discussion topics

The event seeks to pinpoint which green skills Cyprus needs and to explore how they might be built into education and training, given shifting labour market demands and the challenges of the green transition.

Through an interactive discussion, attendees will hear the main results of SUSTAINET’s research, look at major skills gaps and share views on educational initiatives that reflect the practical needs of businesses and society. Labour market priorities will also be discussed, along with practical ways of embedding green skills in education and vocational training.

Participants will be encouraged to look at ways of strengthening cooperation between businesses and educational institutions so that training responds more effectively to present sustainability challenges. The talks are also meant to feed into training activities designed around real-world needs, helping workers and organisations acquire the skills required as the economy shifts towards more sustainable practices.

Practical details

The workshop is free and will be held online via Microsoft Teams from 10am to 11am. It will be conducted in Greek. Those who wish to take part must register through the event’s participation form by November 10, 2026.
