Promotion of employability in employment niches of the ecological transition
Empleaverde+ program
The project seeks to promote and improve employability, through theoretical and practical training, in employment niches related to the bioeconomy and the ecological transition, allowing to increase the competitiveness of workers and unemployed people, to achieve or improve their professional skills in this field. The training courses are carried out in the autonomous communities of Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, the Balearic Islands and Andalusia, where links have been established with entities and companies to guarantee compliance with the objectives.
The training is mostly online, with open enrollment, but incorporates face-to-face sessions to strengthen the connection between students, teachers and companies. These sessions include visits to companies and areas of environmental interest, which allows participants to learn in situ how the theoretical knowledge acquired is applied. The existence of forums in online courses, and face-to-face visits, also allow students to exchange opinions and experiences with other people with the same concerns, facilitating the emergence of synergies and contacts. All students must complete modules in soft skills and gender perspective to obtain their certifications.
The project is supported by various entities, including local action groups, regional and local associations, and is based on the experience of five previous green employability projects, ensuring its viability and success in the training and placement of professionals in strategic sectors of the ecological transition.

The project offers eleven courses, divided into four training itineraries, so that the courses can be taken separately and individually, receiving the titles corresponding to each course, and if all the courses of the same itinerary are completed, the student receives an Expert degree in that subject, issued by the General Foundation of the University of Alcalá. Each student can take as many courses as they wish.
- Environmental Management in the Company:
- Waste management in the circular economy: covers legislation and waste treatment.
- Tools and methodologies in circular economy: deals with the calculation of carbon footprint, environmental footprint, water footprint and notions for life cycle analysis, applied to companies.
- Corporate Social Responsibility Management in the company: explores strategies and practices to integrate sustainability into business management.
- Xerolandscaping and Pest Control Sustainably:

- Applied mycology: covers the identification, marketing and cultivation of mushrooms, with applications in the agri-food and environmental sector.
- Sustainable Primary Production:
- Introduction to Beekeeping: introduces you to the management of hives and sustainable beekeeping production.
- Organic agriculture and orchards: addresses environmentally friendly agricultural production techniques and associated regulations.
There is also an Environmental Impact Assessment course, which is taken individually, as it is not related to the previous itineraries. This course trains the student to know the Environmental Impact Assessment procedure, necessary to evaluate the effects of plans, programs and projects on the environment, including the legislative framework, methodologies and tools, both for office work and in the field, to carry out such evaluations, as well as practical cases.
In addition, the project includes four social innovation actions, which will be carried out in the form of practical workshops, related to the creation and design of infrastructures for the improvement of biodiversity, biodiversity inventory through indications, advanced technologies for biodiversity sampling and a beekeeping workshop.
The training model is based on innovative methodologies such as the flipped classroom, where students prepare the course content at home, and in a flexible way, thanks to the online platform, and then apply their knowledge in face-to-face activities, as well as the problem-based learning methodology, which exposes and presents real cases.
