Description (EN): ”Green Skills Platform for Sustainable Employment Development” (GREENSEED) aims at increasing employment by improving business environment through integrated development measures and supporting climate change and and mitigation through the development of green skills and green employment opportunities in sectors based on local potential. Through this project the team is going to establish joint networks for exchange of good practices, starting from a Cluster Cooperation Agreement which has already been signed between Clusterul Mediu si Energii Reg WESTTIM (Romania) and Magyar Innovativ Epitoipari NyiltKlaszter (Hungary), represented by ”Ioan Slavici” Foundation for Culture and Education (FIS) and Szo-Ter Association. The experience of FIS and Szo-Ter is completed by Novum Association, the second Hungarian partner, expert in project implementation and training. This partnership is to facilitate employment increase and new business opportunities in the context of ”green jobs at green companies”. The main objectives are: - to create more jobs, in the same time supporting climate change - to give skills to people for better positions on the job market (upskilling and re-skilling according to the labor market needs)- to provide support to company managers, start-ups, young people to make more firendly environment- to promote the concept of friedly-environment companies (in the business environment, as well as in schools, VETs and universities)- to develop green skills and green employment opportunities (to all categories of people based on non-discrimination principle) The Romanian partner and the Hungarian partners will work together to develop TWO LINES OF TRAINING:1. Training focused on EMPLOYERS for ”green jobs at green companies”. The training will provide knowledge and skills which are required at companies that intend to conduct environmentally responsible business development.2. Training focused on EMPLOYEES for ”green skills”. The training will give knowledge that people can actually use in their life (and not just theoretical issues) and help them positively influence opportunities. The trainings will be developed and adapted to the market needs after research and discussions with potential users and online consultations. The trainings will be deliverd separately in Hungarian and in Romanian in suitable locations by using the same (jointly developed) curriculum. The trainings will be offered free of charge during the project. Sessions of training will be offered, also free of charge, especially to disadvantaged people (unemployed people, people from rural areas etc.) and to women (present and potential entrepreneurs). Reduced versions of the trainings will be recorded and uploaded on the PROJECT WEBSITE, as well as training support materials.The training providers will use innovative teaching strategies starting from the concept of adjusting to real needs and providing knowledge to be used several years in life by the participants in the training sessions. FIS and Novum will deliver the training, while Szo-Ter will produce an online training tool for both lines of training. In order to extend the range and number of people reached, the partnership plans to organize several OPEN DAYS during the project implementation for high-school students and university students. The scope is to raise their awareness for green jobs and skills. The partnership will also publish a project GUIDE, which will be disseminated to the project target group during the training sessions, Open Days, and other events organized during the project implementation. The project target group is made of: employers, all types of employees (non-discrimination principle), young people, high-school and university students; companies, start-ups, companies in industrial parks. The partners bring in their experience in implementing European projects, and complement each other with their own expertise in efficient teaching and in ”green approach”. Therefore, the partnership is essential to achieve the objectives/indicators of this project and justified by the joint participation in all project activities. The recordings and the traing support materials, together with the project Guide, uploaded on the project website will ensure sustainability after the end of the project implementation. The multiplying effect of those trained within this project, who will work in / manage the companies according to ”green strategies”, will be noticed years after the end of the project. Moreover, the partnership plans to develop further projects to facilitate insertion into the labour market, increase employment rate and up-skill both managers/employer and employees according to the ”environmentally responsible pattern”.
