Based on
TESDA’s 2018 labor market assessment, green industry sectors are expected to generate an additional
5.1 million jobs by 2025, presenting significant opportunities for green skilled Filipino workers.
Unfortunately, the curricula of most Technical-Vocational Institutions (TVIs) do not incorporate the
necessary green skills in the courses they offer, which contributes to a shortage of a green skilled
workforce.
In order to fill the green skill gap, J.P. Morgan in partnership with the Asia Society for Social
Improvement and Sustainable Transformation (ASSIST) embarked on Project
sustainABILITY. It is a 2-year project that will engage with TVIs, instructors, and
students in Metro Manila and Cebu by designing a comprehensive and industry-relevant curriculum and
pedagogy, training, and job placement in four key industry sectors.
Through its planned actions, this project aims to contribute to these SDGs:
Be a champion for a more sustainable future and join our green skills movement.
