YunTech Successfully Completes the Second Cohort of the Ministry of Environment’s Net-Zero Green Talent Development Program for Workers; Third Cohort to Begin Training on September 5, with Enrollment Now Open
In response to the global trend toward net-zero transformation by 2050, the Department of Environmental and Safety Engineering at National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (YunTech) recently completed the second cohort of the Ministry of Environment’s Net-Zero Green Talent Development Program for Workers. The program is designed to equip working professionals with essential knowledge and practical skills in greenhouse gas management, carbon inventories, carbon reduction, and related areas. By incorporating relevant subsidies provided by the Ministry of Labor, the program helps reduce the financial burden of continuing education for working professionals and encourages them to enhance their professional capabilities during weekends or outside working hours, while cultivating green talent equipped with the knowledge and skills needed for the transition to net zero.
The Net-Zero Green Talent Development Program covers a wide range of topics, including international net-zero trends, Taiwan’s development plans and implementation strategies, relevant regulations and institutional frameworks, greenhouse gas inventories, voluntary emission reduction, verification and validation, and product carbon footprints. Through a combination of theoretical instruction, practical case studies, and academic assessments, the program helps participants establish a comprehensive learning foundation covering policy understanding, carbon inventory methodologies, and practical applications in the business sector. It also enhances their professional capabilities in responding to the challenges of net-zero transformation and sustainable industrial development.
The transition to net zero has become an important issue faced by industries across the board. While businesses need to develop carbon management capabilities, workers must also strengthen their professional knowledge and skills to meet the growing demand for green skills and sustainability management in the future workplace. Through government-supported training subsidies, this program enables working professionals to participate in specialized training at a lower cost. This not only enhances individual competitiveness in the workplace but also helps businesses build the talent capacity required for the transition to net zero.
The third cohort of the Workers’ Net-Zero Green Talent Development Program will begin training on September 5, and enrollment is currently open. The program is expected to invite officials from the Climate Change Administration of the Ministry of Environment, professionals from environmental consulting companies involved in greenhouse gas-related projects commissioned by the Climate Change Administration, instructors from BSI, an international certification and standards organization, and experts from the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) to deliver specialized lectures. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical applications, the program will strengthen participants’ understanding of climate change, net-zero transformation, greenhouse gas management, and carbon inventory practices, helping working professionals acquire the key competencies required for sustainable transformation across industries.
The program also incorporates a training subsidy scheme provided by the Ministry of Labor. Working professionals who complete the required training hours and pass the assessment may receive training subsidies covering 80% to 100% of the training costs. This significantly reduces the financial burden of professional development while enabling participants to strengthen their professional skills, enhance their competitiveness in the workplace, and explore new directions for career development.
