Regional Government of Loreto
Description:
The Action aimed to support the regional government of Loreto to promote opportunities for decent green jobs. It focused on the potential of public-private mechanisms for the sustainable development of Loreto's forestry sector with the generation of green, formal and decent jobs for the local youth. The Regional Direction of Employment chose to join an existing Regional Forestry Roundtable. Experts from France, Germany and Spain mapped the value chains of the forestry sector, made an analysis of the needed professional skills to access quality green jobs. In that perspective, experts formulated a proposal for a pilot training programme for young people, that could act as a catalyst for creating employment opportunities in the regional forestry sector.
