The private sector is the engine of growth and plays a vital role in supporting green growth in Europe, while the VET providers play a pivotal role in supporting private sector and entrepreneurs to invest in the green economy by developing their skills, knowledge and competences required by resource-efficient processes and technologies; and integrating these into businesses and communities. VET providers are the key educational bridge between the private sector and education. There is fragmentation on how companies are responding to complex climate change challenges, and opportunities and the onus is on VET providers as key education stakeholders to address it.

GoGreen project aims to develop the skills and competences of VET providers to support the professional development of the private sector stakeholders and entrepreneurs and those willing to effectively support Green Economy through the development of a tailored VET green curriculum based on augmented reality technology, simulation training and an innovative Massive Open Online Course.
