overview

The importance of sustainability education in bridging the gap cannot be overstated. Sustainability education utilizes a well-rounded approach, including environmental, social, and economic elements, to equip workforces with the knowledge and skills to build rewarding careers in the green economy. The discussion during the series can serve as a catalyst for meaningful employment by cultivating innovation, adaptability, and a sense of responsibility. 

Through the series of engaging talks, expert panels, and interactive discussions, we intend to explore the multifaceted dimensions of sustainability and its pivotal role in shaping education, employment, and empowerment.
