Enhancing skills development for sustainability. A Pedagogical-didactic model for teachers in VET education

The green transition is emerging as a central theme in public policies, requiring a radical renewal of both economic and social development paradigms (UNIONCAMERE, 2021). In this context, the integration of sustainability in Vocational Education and Training (VET) emerges as a strategic imperative, which aligns with the ambitious United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established in the 2030 Agenda in 2015. To achieve these goals, the role played by education and training is crucial, as specifically highlighted by targets 4.4. and 4.7 of SDG 4, which emphasize the need to provide individuals with the tools, in terms of knowledge and skills, necessary to promote sustainable development (UNEVOC, 2021; Öhman, Sund, 2021).
