VET on the move: Renewable Energies and Cleantech across Sectors in India
On 14 September 2023, four German training providers presented their training offers on "renewables and cleatech". Over 50 participants took part in the online event. The event was mainly targeted at training parners from India.
The online event was the seventh part of the iMOVE series "VET on the move".
The expansion of more sustainable technology models and more eco-friendly energy supply will play a major role for climate protection in the future. Sustainability today is a quality charactistic and indispensable in many sectors due to customer expectations.
All over the world, companies are more and more under pressure to prove the sustainability of their products and services. And it is very helpful if qualified staff possesses competencies in sustainability and can generate sustainable solutions for their employers. Future-oriented technologies offer opportunities for future-oriented jobs.
In order to reach their self-imposed sustainability goals, international customers today prefer to commission providers who can help them in this field. This also applies to vocational education and training.
Due to the great number of interested participants in the iMOVE event on "climate-friendly technologies and renewables" last year, iMOVE now offered another opportunity to get in direct contact with training providers with solutions for the renewables and cleantech sector.
With this online event iMOVE facilitated new contacts to German training providers. Four organizations showcased their training offers in the field of renewables and cleantech.
