EGE AT THE FOREFRONT: 63% OF GREEN JOBS REQUIREMENT FOR BUSINESS AND PA IN COMING YEARS
Our efforts to preserve the planet are radically changing the economic and employment landscape, offering new opportunities to contribute to the well-being of the environment. Prominent among these are Green Jobs, professions geared toward sustainability and environmental protection that are set to play a key role in the future of business, public administration, and the economy at large.
The transition to a Green Economy has led to reforms and incentives to protect natural resources, adopt sustainable investment policies, and eliminate environmentally harmful practices. This change has generated a strong demand for skills in the green sector, attracting the interest of professionals.
Unioncamere estimates that 63 percent of business and government needs in the coming years will be for green jobs, ranging from technical to highly specialized occupations, with a focus on the environment, energy sustainability and circular economy.
The most affected sectors include industries such as utilities, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, construction and automotive, as well as services such as transportation, tourism, healthcare, education and business support. In addition, there is a growing demand for professionals capable of upgrading existing buildings, promoting sustainability and reducing energy consumption.
Among the most in-demand professionals is the EGE (Expert in Energy Management). This professional has specialized skills in reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices in their respective areas of work.
The UNI CEI 11339:2009 standard defines the general requirements and procedures for qualifying the skills of the EGE. This figure must possess the ability to combine energy and environmental knowledge with management and economic-financial skills. It is a combination of skills that are essential to meet the challenges of the energy transition, which today represents a real social, cultural and market revolution.
Green Jobs represent the future of work, offering rewarding career opportunities for those who wish to contribute to the preservation of the planet while building a successful career.
Skills certification becomes the means to ensure the quality, skills and effectiveness of these professionals in shaping a more sustainable future for our planet.
