ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
The Green Skills Academy equipped participants with the skills required for employment in sectors such as wind energy, solar energy, sustainable agriculture, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for renewables. We are enabling Canada to take big steps on climate change by supporting these industries. The impact of this program aligns with Canada’s economic and climate priorities, targeting key sectors and jobs essential for the low-carbon economy. This report shows how targeted training initiatives play a pivotal role in shaping a sustainable and resilient workforce for the green economy.
The path to a low-carbon economy in Canada requires a workforce with skills that can support this journey. The Green Skills Academy was designed in response to the urgent need for skilled workers in the transition towards a low-carbon economy. The program helps workers upgrade or gain new skills essential for jobs in low-carbon industries. The program achieved this by engaging community members, supporting participants' logistics and administration, offering free training across the country, and providing wrap-around support for participants.
The Clean Tech Training for Urban and Indigenous Community Members program, project number 18734533, uses the operational name of Green Skills Academy, which is how the program is referred to in this report.
