Sustainability competences in lifelong guidance. The key role of Pathways for transversal skills and orientation program to shape future scenarios

Abstract

Lifelong guidance is the key to facing labor transitions due to current challenges. For this reason, the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage (DFBC) of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice offered Pathways for transversal skills and orientation program (PCTO). This program was developed considering which are future jobs and which skills students need for sustainable development. Considering that a common definition of sustainability competences and green skills is lacking, it is necessary to design programs to develop the transversal skills useful to achieve integral human development, as sustainability competences, and environmental technical skills, as green skills.
