Background

Amidst the backdrop of the European Union's Green Deal and China's "3060 Carbon Neutral" initiative, the imperative for advancing sustainable development and nurturing green skills has soared to the forefront of both regions' priorities. A shared commitment to environmentally responsible industrial transformation has ignited robust collaboration between them. This collaboration underscores the pivotal role of cultivating a workforce proficient in green competencies and facilitating sustainable trajectories for enterprises to adopt eco-conscious industrial practices.

Within the realm of green development and green skills, it is essential to recognize several challenges that impede the realization of their full potential:

 Supply Side: Vocational colleges, the primary hubs for talent cultivation, encounter various challenges:

­    Inadequate understanding of the specific needs of European businesses in China, leading to a lack of a communication platform.

­    The existing curriculum lacks a systematic approach to teaching theoretical knowledge in green skills.

­    Insufficient incorporation of practical exercises for green skills within the current curriculum.

­    Limited integration of assessments and evaluations related to the introduction of green skills.

Demand Side: Despite a heightened demand from European businesses in China for employees with green skills:

­    The rapid evolution of green technologies and equipment poses a challenge in quickly matching green skills.

­    Businesses lack stable, long-term talent pipelines that align with their requirements.

­    Substantial differences between general theoretical learning and the unique practical operations in enterprises are challenging to bridge.

­    Providing green skills training for existing employees requires significant internal resources (financial, faculty, etc.).

As a result, challenges from both the supply and demand sides contribute to difficulties in vocational college enrollment, student employment, and European businesses recruiting skilled workers in China. A systematic solution is urgently needed to address these obstacles and enhance the development of green skills, adapting to the continuous evolution of different industries towards sustainability.

背景

在欧盟绿色协议和中国"3060碳中和"倡议的背景下，促进可持续发展和培养绿色技能已成为两者的共识。共同致力于制造业产业绿色转型和促进环保产业的发展的点燃了两者之间强大的合作火花。这种协作需要培养懂得绿色技能的劳动力，同时企业采取具有生态意识的产业实践。欧洲在华企业对于其员工，特别是一线工人的绿色技能已经提出了更高的要求，但是依然存在不小的挑战：

供给端：职业院校作为人才培养的大本营，

-       对欧洲在华企业的具体需求不够了解，缺少沟通平台

-       现有的课程体系中，缺乏绿色技能理论知识的系统教授

-       同时，也并未形成绿色技能在企业中的实操练习

-       评估、考核部分对于绿色技能的引入较为有限

需求端：尽管欧洲在华企业对于职工的绿色技能提出了更高的需求，然而

-       绿色技术与设备更迭速度快，绿色技能难以快速匹配

-       对于企业而言，缺乏长期稳定、符合要求的人才输送渠道

-       同时，通用型理论学习与企业独特的实践操作中的巨大差异难以弥补

-       针对现有的员工，需要花费更多的内部资源（资金、师资等）进行绿色技能培训

因此，来自供给端与需求端的多重挑战导致职业院校招生难、学生就业难、欧洲在华企业招工难。三方遇到的障碍亟需一个系统性的解决方案，完善绿色技能的发展，以适应不同产业在绿色方向上的不断演变。
