    Description
    The request from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MTSS) of Uruguay focused on developing knowledge and skills for the promotion of green jobs for young people, identifying tools and good practices for their incorporation into the policy and organizational arrangements of the MTSS, of local governments, of the related directorates/regional offices and other agencies working at the promotion of green jobs’ opportunities for young people. The SOCIEUX+ intervention was part of the PAGE Uruguay Program, to which the ILO participates. Experts from Belgium and the Netherlands supported the deployment of two distinct workshops on Green employment strategies for young people, sharing experiences mainly of EU countries. The action gave the MTSS the opportunity to advance policy dialogue and create synergies with other ministries (Education and Industry) in view to improve the circular economy and to promote green jobs among the youth, though adapted curricula and vocational training.
