LinkedIn co-founder Allen Blue delivered a sobering update at WEF: while 1 in 8 people now possess green skills, job demand is rapidly outpacing supply—growing 22% compared to just 12% growth in qualified workers.
“Green skills are highly in demand right now, as companies and investors ramp up to address the climate crisis,” Blue emphasized. His concerning prediction? In just five years, the gap will widen significantly.

Our micro-certification system ensures students develop practical green capabilities that employers desperately need.
