One of the primary goals was to raise awareness about environmental issues among young people and inspire them to take action to address these challenges in their daily lives and future careers. The project aimed to equip participants with practical skills related to sustainability, innovation, and problem-solving, thereby enhancing their employability and capacity to contribute to a more sustainable society and professional fields. There was a goal to develop educational material on green skills in 12 professions. That would inspire development of education system by introducing innovative teaching methods and curricula that emphasize real-world applications and interdisciplinary learning, particularly in the context of environmental sustainability. By promoting international cooperation and knowledge exchange project implementers aimed to foster collaboration among educational institutions, students, and industry partners from different countries and cultural backgrounds. By partnering with businesses and industry organizations, the project seeks to bridge the gap between education and industry, ensuring that educational programs are aligned with the needs and priorities of the green economy.
Valmieras tehnikums and its partner organizations are passionate about the improvement of vocational education. Environmental sustainability is an issue, which affects all professional fields. Through this project “Professions Go Green” partners aimed to introduce innovative teaching methods and curricula focused on real-world problem-solving and sustainability. Empowering young people to become agents of positive change in their communities was an inspiring idea and driving force behind the projects. The project aimed to foster a sense of agency and responsibility among youth who will graduate soon and become the next employees or employers. There was identified gap between traditional education and the skills needed in today's job market. This project aimed to bridge that gap by providing students with practical skills and knowledge aligned with industry needs. In an increasingly interconnected world, there's growing recognition of the importance of international collaboration in addressing global challenges. This project also aimed to foster cross-border cooperation and learning among educational institutions, students, and industry partners.
