GREEN Project - First Pilots behind us


At the end of November Pilots in the Czech Republic were organised. There were held three pilots on Life Cycle Approach for Green Automotive. In total more than 50 trainers and trainees were piloted. The pilots were structured as an interactive workshop. After the introduction of GREEN VET project, discussion on key facts referring to the development of labour market and the expected impact of labour shortage, the interactive part devoted to green automotive and carbon footprint was.

At the end of November, three interactive pilots on Life Cycle Approach for Green Automotive were successfully organised in the Czech Republic as part of the GREEN VET project. These pilots brought together over 50 trainers and trainees and marked a significant step forward in addressing the need for skilled professionals in the green automotive sector.

They featured a mix of theory and practical activities. The workshops were split into two main sections:

  • 1. Theoretical Overview:
    - Introduction to the GREEN VET project: Objectives and goals were outlined to contextualize the initiative.
    - BCG Study Insights: The main findings from BCG study on the expected impact of skilled employee shortages on the Czech labour market and income were presented to highlight the urgency of addressing this issue.
    - Life Cycle Approach: Essential facts about environmental impact assessment and methods to calculate the carbon footprint were shared.

  • 2. Interactive Discussions and Activities:
    - Green Skills and Occupations: Discussions centred on future job requirements and the evolving roles in the green automotive sector.
    - Hands-On Activity: Participants calculated their carbon footprints, followed by a collaborative discussion on the results and strategies to reduce their individual footprints.


The pilots concluded with a hands-on activity where participants calculated their carbon footprints and discussed actionable strategies for reducing them. This interactive approach not only enhanced understanding but also empowered participants to apply these concepts in their personal and professional lives.

The pilots successfully fostered awareness and provided actionable knowledge on sustainable practices in the automotive sector. Participants left with a deeper understanding of the importance of green skills and practical tools to contribute to reducing environmental impacts.
