My expertise in more detail |
I work in skills development for the environment, within a systems approach focusing on: (i) career, competence and professional development of individual professionals; (ii) strengthening organisations (learning and employer organisations) that employ and enable the further development of professionals as they enter into and move through careers; and (iii) engaging with the national policy framework to integrate green skills that support a transition to a green economy into the processes of skills planning and development. |
