Your Future in Green Jobs


Empowering youth to connect passion, interests, and skills with meaningful careers that tackle climate change.

Supported by Dubai Cares and together with Unbounded Associates and Plan International, the Ban Ki-moon Centre presents the “Your Future in Green Jobs” Online Course and Mentorship Program. This course aims to empower you to connect your passion, interests, and skills with meaningful careers that address climate change head-on. The self-paced Online Course consists of 6 modules and is full of interactive assignments, videos and plenty of new information and reflection spaces for learners to explore climate change and their role in tackling it. Let’s dive into this exciting topic, where knowledge, inspiration, and opportunity await! The course aims to help you to: Become aware of climate change and the diverse range of jobs that can contribute to solutions. Gain a deep understanding of your own skills and talents, recognizing the unique value you bring to the table. Achieve a profound sense of empowerment, knowing that you have the agency to choose a career path that tackles climate change. Reflect on yourself and your aspirations, nurturing a strong sense of purpose and direction. Understand the broad definition of a green job and explore the diverse career paths within the industry. Develop a clear sense of what next steps are necessary for you to pursue your passion, be that further studies, vocational trainings, internships or founding your own start-up. To complete this course, you need to study 50% of the board material and complete the final assignment in Module 6. We do not grade your reflections, but we encourage you to fill these questions out as well.
