Overview

The SDG Academy is pleased to partner with the Ban Ki-moon Centre to promote this course! Your Future in Green Jobs: Find your green career pathway can be accessed through Ban Ki-moon Centre.

Supported by Dubai Cares and together with Unbounded Associates and Plan International, the Ban Ki-moon Centre presents the “Your Future in Green Jobs” Online Course and Mentorship Program. The course and the mentorship aim to empower youth to connect their passion, interests, and skills with meaningful careers that address climate change head-on.

The self-paced Online Course consists of 6 modules and is full of interactive assignments, videos and plenty of new information and reflection spaces for learners to explore climate change and their role in tackling it. Let’s dive into this exciting topic, where knowledge, inspiration, and opportunity await!

The Mentorship – designed for people between the ages of 14 to 20 – builds on the knowledge youth gain from the Your Future in Green Jobs Online Course, which seeks to connect the passion, interests, and skills of young people with meaningful green career pathways. The BKMC will select around 20 young changemakers per year, who will receive one-on-one mentorship from leading practitioners in a wide variety of green jobs.

Mentorship Applications for 2025 will open in Spring 2025.
