Skills and competences improvement of workers employed in green sector with e-learning technology use

Green Jobs in the meaning of Polish standards, are:“Jobs resulted of capital and non capital investment undertakings which ease the pressure from the economy and public utilities on environment. Green jobs can be created in each economic sector, the condition being that the workers should be directly or indirectly involved in the improvement of the environment in a given area and operating against the environmentally harmful activities both in the short and the long run”. In the report prepared by the Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED)Programme of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) titled: "Climate Change, Employment and Local Development in Poland"from September 2011 it was highlighted, that in Poland there was a great need to define a strong and long-term strategy focused on supporting the green economy. The best way to “sell” this new notion of the green economy is through the creation of jobs and the distribution of wealth across the country. It is therefore essential to support business creation, as well as business growth, in the green sectors. In line with this, the education system should provide the labour market with ready-to-work professionals. One of the key issues to popularise the "green jobs" in Poland is to subsidise post-graduate courses in green business and technologies. This could be included as a core component of all courses. The main aim of E-GREEN JOBS project was to improve skills and competences of Polish workers, experts, professionals, freelances involved in green sectors with e-learning technology use. According to the existing research on green jobs market, preliminary proffessions have been identified. In order to verify this tentative selection, user analisys was carried out at the beginning of the project. Moreover e-learning in green sectors is well-known solution in Italy and Portugal, still not in Poland, thus learning modules were transferred to Poland to rise technological awarness. Specific learning contents have been chosen and adjusted to users needs (as far as job role and level is concerned) and possibly to the nationals qualification framework. Different national contexts was considered in order to offer learning content adressing specific needs identified in each of the countries involved. In the second step, learning contents was adapted according to the onthology of the e-learning system. Learning objects selected and developed, offered on the platform, are the most tangible result of the project. In the European perspective project contributed to green jobs market development, awarness of green jobs market needs and indirectly stimulate creation of new green vacancies.
