YOUR FUTURE IN GREEN JOBS<br />
Goal:<br />
Provide a learning platform for youth to learn<br />
about climate change and discover ways to<br />
venture into a green career.<br />
Key Partners:<br />
Dubai Cares, Plan International, Unbounded<br />
Associates<br />
The coming of age of the biggest young generation in<br />
history will determine the future of our planet and its<br />
people. At the same time, the climate crisis increases<br />
the imperative for sustainable careers and green jobs.<br />
The <strong>BKMC</strong> with the support of Dubai Cares aims to<br />
bridge the gap between youth skills and talent for<br />
green jobs and advocate to transform education that<br />
empowers the current and the next generation to<br />
choose jobs that tackle the climate crisis.<br />
The “Your Future in Green Jobs – Online Training and<br />
Mentoring” program showcases that green jobs<br />
are attractive, accessible, and achievable for young<br />
people (14-20 years old) and provides a tool for them<br />
to reflect on how they can contribute to a green<br />
transformation. This initiative, which supports youth<br />
in choosing a green career was initiated by the signing<br />
of a Memorandum of Understanding between the<br />
<strong>BKMC</strong> and Dubai Cares in January <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
At the COP28’s RewirEd Summit, Dubai Cares’ flagship<br />
platform advocating for transformed education<br />
systems as the core enabler for a sustainable future<br />
for people and planet, the online course “Your Future<br />
in Green Jobs – Find a Green Career Pathway” officially<br />
launched at the panel session on “Green Jobs:<br />
Paving the Way to a Sustainable Future”. This free and<br />
self-paced course consists of six modules and has<br />
interactive assignments, videos, and reflection spaces,<br />
designed to help learners connect their passions,<br />
interests, and skills with meaningful careers and<br />
address climate change head-on.<br />
In 2024 and 2025, the <strong>BKMC</strong> will carry out a mentoring<br />
program connected to the online course for a total<br />
of 45 young people to dive deeper into this learning<br />
journey and create their own SDG Micro-Projects.<br />
Building on their knowledge from the course, the<br />
participants will be able to apply their green skills to<br />
practice by being matched with professionals in the<br />
field of green jobs. With their mentors, they will take<br />
their own steps to contribute to climate action and<br />
find their role in this common endeavor.<br />
