Cultivating green futures
Helping students understand and progress towards green jobs
The policy brief highlights the important role of career guidance systems in connecting students' interest in the environment with the needs of the green job market. It emphasises the importance of authentic interactions with green industry professionals, work placements, and hands-on learning experiences, especially in secondary education. Drawing from key OECD findings and 87 green guidance programmes from 20 countries, the brief defines green jobs, showcases PISA 2018 insights on student interest in climate issues, and presents a framework for green career guidance.
