Aalto EE Selected to Deliver Continuous Education to Enhance Green Transition Investments
The Service Center for Continuous Learning and Employment (SECLE) has selected Aalto University Executive Education (Aalto EE) to deliver training in various clean, or green, transition topics.
The aim of the training is to support the implementation of green transition investments and promote the acquisition of important knowledge and skills in the implementation of clean transition projects.
Aalto EE offers a total of five such courses. All of them are free of charge for participants.
Finland needs extensive competence development and a skilled workforce to advance the green transition. With the help of free and flexible courses, many Finns will have the opportunity to develop their competence in terms of green transition.
Director Hanna-Riikka Myllymäki from Aalto EE sees competence development as a very important factor in the success of the green transition.
'The clean transition is the biggest systemic change of our time, and its success requires that every organization goes through significant changes. Succeeding in the transition requires new kinds of skills and capabilities that support both achieving environmental goals and developing business in a sustainable way. Skills development is a key factor in the success of this transition. Organizations must invest in the skills of their employees systematically and systematically,' she describes.
Aalto EE will implement five separate courses that provide up-to-date expertise in key areas of clean transition. The language of the courses is Finnish:
- Clean transition environmental procedures – Understanding environmental procedures and their legislation
- Clean transition regulation – Impacts of EU and national regulations on business and basic principles
- Clean transition investments: basic information for decision-makers – Clean transition requirements and decision-makers
- Strategic interaction in clean transition projects – Corporate responsibility, stakeholder cooperation and interaction methods
- Financing clean transition projects – Different funding opportunities and their utilization and documentation
Participants can choose the courses that best suit their needs. The courses are designed so that they can be completed flexibly alongside work.
The courses offer versatile learning methods, such as online lectures, expert speeches from working life representatives, and various exercises and tasks in which participants apply what they have learned to practical situations.
The key target group of the programs are companies implementing clean transition projects, members of companies and governments, municipal decision-makers making investment decisions, consultants working on clean transition, and public sector organizations implementing environmental procedures.
People interested in the topic outside the workforce are also welcome to participate in the free courses.
The first courses will start in spring 2025 and (in Finnish).
