BKMC Your Future in Green Jobs Mentorship Program 2024

The BKMC Your Future in Green Jobs Mentorship Program 2024 is organized by the Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens (BKMC) with the support of Dubai Cares and in partnership with Plan International and Unbounded Associates.

The program is for young people aged 14 to 20 who are interested in green careers. It extends from the Your Future in Green Jobs Online Course and aims to bridge the gap between young people’s passions, interests, and skills with meaningful pathways in the green sector.

Participants will engage in two workshops and benefit from personalized mentorship provided by green job experts. Moreover, they will actively contribute to climate action by executing an SDG Micro-Project, applying the knowledge and skills acquired from the course. These micro-projects are designed to address sustainable development goals (SDGs) within local communities, fostering a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.
