Green Credentials

Sustainability education should be practical, accessible and engaging. 🌱

GREEN-Credentials supports green skills development through digital learning, micro-credentials, AI-supported tools and gamification — helping learners connect sustainability knowledge with real opportunities in agriculture, forestry and green sectors.

Because learning for the green transition should feel clear, useful and future-ready. 💚

The green transition is not only creating new jobs — it is also changing the skills needed in many existing occupations.

Through GREEN-Credentials, we support this shift by focusing on practical green skills, micro-credentials and accessible digital learning for sustainability, agriculture and forest management. 🌍

🌱 How can learners prove the green skills they gain?

Micro-credentials can help make learning more flexible, visible and connected to real labour market needs.

Cedefop’s work on microcredentials explores how short, targeted learning experiences can support employment-relevant education and training — a topic closely linked to the mission of GREEN-Credentials. 📚

Through our project, we aim to support learners, including migrants and vulnerable groups, in developing and validating practical green competences for sustainability, agriculture and forest management. 🌍
