Green Sustainable Solutions d.o.o. (GSS) coordinates the international PRISTINE VET project, an Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Vocational Education and Training initiative focused on strengthening renewable-energy education, advancing green skills and supporting inclusive labour-market participation across West Africa.
Across the Erasmus+ landscape, comparable initiatives are already demonstrating the strategic importance of vocational education for the green transition.
Projects such as Cameroon RenewED enhance renewable-energy competences of trainers and youth while strengthening links between education, labour markets and governance, directly improving employability and local socio-economic development.
Similarly, initiatives like VET4GREEN and B-VET build institutional capacity of African VET providers and align training systems with economic and sustainability priorities, reinforcing the role of skills development in inclusive green growth. Other programmes, including EREVETS in Sierra Leone and VET Power in West Africa, further highlight the need to expand renewable-energy competencies, entrepreneurship, mobility and cooperation between African and European institutions to accelerate energy transition and workforce readiness.
Within this broader ecosystem, PRISTINE VET contributes a complementary and scalable model by modernising vocational curricula toward solar, wind, biomass and hydrogen technologies, while embedding gender inclusion and long-term institutional capacity building.
The project aligns with wider Erasmus+ objectives to enhance employability, strengthen trainer competences and connect vocational education with global industry trends and sustainable economic development.
In its coordinating role, GSS contributes specialised expertise in renewable-energy systems, hydrogen innovation, vocational-education modernisation and management of complex EU-funded programmes. This enables structured governance, quality assurance and effective knowledge transfer among European and African partners, ensuring alignment with regional energy-transition priorities and labour-market needs.
