🌱 Why Green Skills Verification Is Critical
Millions of jobs are transitioning into climate-sensitive roles that require energy literacy, ESG reporting fluency, and carbon accounting knowledge.

Verification platforms bridge this gap and empower jobseekers to prove their value in a sustainability-driven economy.
🔑 Platform Features and Capabilities
