Green-Pro

Our Goals

Our project “Green Business Vocational Competence Development Project-Green-PRO” aims to develop the vocational skills of entrepreneurs or entrepreneur candidates from different sectors who want to transform their initiatives into a “green business” or want to create one.

The specific objectives of the project:
  • Contributing to the increase of environment-conscious entrepreneurs, thus providing the breeding ground for starting and sustaining a green economy
  • With the production of “Green-PRO” VET training program, equipping entrepreneurs or candidates with the necessary skills to become green entrepreneurs
  • Contributing to green entrepreneurship and vocational skills of participants with 25-hour online and 6-day Green-PRO Mobility in Rheine
  • While developing entrepreneurs and entrepreneur candidates’ green skills, contributing to the green economy and transformation of EU start-ups outlined within “European Green Deal”
  • While developing entrepreneurs and entrepreneur candidates’ green skills, contributing to the green economy and transformation of EU start-ups outlined within “European Green Deal”
The planned activities comprise of a VET program that trains participants in terms of green practices and how to adapt them into their own initiatives based on their requirements. Our project will have positive impact on “environmental sustainability” and participants’ entrepreneurship skills while increasing quality of work they undertake within their business.

Participants will be aware of their environmental footprint on their consumption and find out the ways to tackle with these problems with the implementation of virtual and face-to-face training programs designed within the project.

According to the research conducted by StartUp4Climate,
  • Only 3 in over 100 start-up relevant competitions are specialised in the green economy
  • None of the 19 national (Germany) support programs for entrepreneurs include criteria for environmental sustainability
  • None of the over 40 start-up and sustainability internet platforms is specially tailored to the needs of the green start-up community

With our project, we aim to bring forward a training program and a platform that will contribute to the needs of the green start-ups and entrepreneurs who want to carry out environmentally conscious practices.

Our project is in line with the objectives of the “European Climate Pact”. Similarly, we want to contribute to a more sustainable Europe by increasing the green skills of the participant entrepreneurs and help take steps to the transition to a climate-neutral economy with the designed VET program, platform, and project mobility.
