Your Future in Green Jobs

Supported by Dubai Cares and together with Unbounded Associates and Plan International, the Ban Ki-moon Centre designed “Your Future in Green Jobs” Online Course to empower young people to connect their passion, interests, and skills with meaningful green careers. The connected Mentorship builds on the knowledge from the online course and provides the opportunity for 23 people between the ages of 14 to 20 from around the world to take first steps in their green career journeys.

The selected mentees will receive one-on-one mentorship from practitioners in a wide variety of green jobs, will participate in tailored workshops and implement their own SDG Micro-Projects that tackle one or more SDGs in their communities. Together, we can lead for a better future for all through a green transformation!
