Green Jobs & Skills

GREEN JOBS & SKILLS

According to Unioncamere’s forecasts for the 2025–2029 period, the demand for workers with skills related to sustainability and energy will approach 4 million units.
This impressive figure indicates that around two thirds of future hires will require a specific aptitude for energy efficiency and the reduction of environmental impact.

The most sought-after professional profiles range from the design of renewable energy systems to the energy retrofitting of buildings, up to the intelligent management of energy consumption in Industry 4.0.

Where demand meets supply

With "Green Jobs & Skills", KEY positions itself as a facilitator between job supply and demand for:

  • recent graduates and final-year students from technical institutes

  • young professionals

  • workers looking to transition towards sustainability

  • companies committed to the energy transition

A digital space is offered for matchmaking, along with a dedicated day focused on skills, career guidance, and training—designed to foster synergies between young talents and companies.

A future-oriented project

Green Jobs & Skills is an initiative promoted by Italian Exhibition Group and KEY – The Energy Transition Expo.
The initiative is coordinated by Marco Gisotti, journalist and science communicator, and Scientific Director of the Green Factor agency.

As part of a broader innovation-focused project—which also includes the involvement of start-ups and innovative SMEs, as well as the Lorenzo Cagnoni Innovation Award—Green Jobs & Skills aims to be a meeting point between labour demand and supply, while also offering a valuable career guidance opportunity.

Working in the energy sector today means having a systemic vision, which is essential to ensure business competitiveness and support the country’s sustainable development.

Unioncamere | A partner to maximise KEY's efforts

Unioncamere strengthens KEY – The Energy Transition Expo’s commitment to supporting the energy transition, with a focus on:

  • Analysis of skills needs: we use data from the Excelsior Information System to identify the skills required by companies and to support training and education planning.

  • Career guidance: we develop initiatives for students and workers, fostering access to and integration into the green job market.

  • Skills certification: we collaborate on the certification of skills acquired in non-formal contexts, ensuring their recognition and value in the labour market.
