ACCEC Green College
Training. Innovation. Research. — equipping young people and women with practical, market-ready green skills.
Nurturing skills, sustaining lives
In response to rising youth unemployment, climate change and environmental degradation, ACCEC launched the Green College — a centre for training, research and innovation that equips marginalised groups with practical, market-relevant skills in green enterprise. It has already trained over 300 youth, women, school dropouts and teenage mothers, offering a second chance through hands-on, environmentally friendly skills. We now envision a large-scale Green College training 10,000+ people by 2030.
