Skills to Access the Green Economy

Skills to Access the Green Economy (SAGE) supports demand-driven technical and vocational education training (TVET) in key economic sectors associated with climate change and green skills in the Caribbean.

By leveraging the expertise of Canadian colleges and institutes, SAGE helps local training institutions in Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, and St. Lucia develop and deliver gender-sensitive skills training programs that meet economic and environmental needs in the region.

In particular, SAGE supports adolescent girls and women, youth and vulnerable populations to access TVET in in-demand sectors.

Over 1000 students will receive training in areas of agriculture, agro-food processing, renewable energy, construction, water and coastal management and eco-tourism.

SAGE supports small and medium enterprises in gender equitable workforce planning, development, training, and certification

SAGE supports pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship pilot programs that help to provide a framework for expanding apprenticeship training in the Caribbean

SAGE is an Education for Employment (EFE) program. EFE is a development cooperation strategy based on partnership. The approach brings together governments, institutional partners, communities, and employers to strengthen the social and economic development of the communities in which we work. These partnerships strengthen the capacity of TVET and CBET institutions in countries around the world that are key drivers of economic growth and employment, in particular for young people.

In partnership with

Skills to Access the Green Economy is a 5 year (2019-2024), $18 million program implemented by Colleges and Institutes Canada and is funded by the Government of Canada.
