Working on Green Building (WOGB) is an employment programme and artisan skills training program
aimed at upskilling young people in the energy, water, and waste sectors. Our initiative aligns
with
the government’s Integrated Renewable Energy Resource Efficiency Programme (IREREP), which
promotes
sustainable practices in these key sectors.
Our approach is to provide job opportunities through targeted skills training, with most of the
training being work-based. We believe in a hands-on approach, with a strong component of the
training taking place on the job that the trainee will ideally be placed in post-training. This
ensures that our participants not only gain theoretical knowledge but also practical experience,
making them highly employable in the green building industry.
At WOGB, our chief aim is to provide young people with the jobs and skills needed to work on
green
buildings, ensuring they have access to sustainable job opportunities. We believe that by
equipping
young individuals with these skills, we can contribute to a more environmentally conscious and
economically sustainable future.
Through our program, participants receive comprehensive artisan training in green building
practices, including foundational skills, industry-specific training, and work readiness
preparation. Our goal is to empower young people with the skills and knowledge they need to
succeed
in the growing field of sustainable construction.
Join us at WOGB and be a part of a greener, more sustainable future. Together, we can build a
better
world for generations to come.
