Empowering Youth for Green Careers
The “Empowering Youth for Green Careers” (EYGC) project aims to bridge the gap between environmental policy and daily practice. We help Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and Vocational Education (VET) centers transition to sustainability. By providing practical, digital tools, we empower young employees and managers to measure their carbon footprint and implement “green” changes without needing expensive consultants.
