These resources will provide essential practical support in areas such as irrigation, refrigeration, and electricity.

The students were also reminded of a recent estimate from the International Labour Organization (ILO), which projects that the shift to green industries could generate 24 million new jobs by 2030. This unique education they are receiving positions them well to capitalize on these emerging opportunities.
