A project that looks ahead
Green Jobs & Skills is an initiative by IEG and Ecomondo, coordinated by Marco Gisotti—journalist, science communicator, and Scientific Director of the agency Green Factor.
As part of the broader Innovation Project, which includes the involvement of emerging businesses through Start-Up & Scale-Up and the Lorenzo Cagnoni Award, Green Jobs & Skills aims to be a true meeting point between job demand and skills supply, as well as a valuable opportunity for career guidance and orientation.
