Central America and Dominican Republic: Occupational training for green jobs

The ILO project FOIL (Fortalecimiento de sistemas integrados de Formación, Orientación e Inserción Laboral) supported TVET institutions in Central America in developing learning standards and curricula for green jobs.

The ILO has been providing technical support to the regional network of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions, within the framework of the project FOIL (Fortalecimiento de sistemas integrados de Formación, Orientación e Inserción Laboral).
The network aims to standardize and improve TVET programmes, to facilitate labour insertion especially for marginalized groups. Since 2010, the project has been focusing on the promotion of green jobs. To date learning standards and curricula for eight green occupations have been developed and included into the vocational training portfolio of all countries.
