            <description><![CDATA[Come with us to Vienna, in Austria, to learn more about an initiative that incorporates sustainability into vocational training, aiming at climate neutrality. In this episode, we interview Dolores Puljic, Gabriel Lodahl and Marlies Unterweger from the Wiener Stadtwerke, a major public company that provides essential services such as electricity, heating and mobility to the people of Vienna and the surrounding region.

While investing in vocational education and training, the Wiener Stadtwerke has set itself an ambitious goal: becoming climate neutral by 2040. What does this mean in practice? And how can sustainability be incorporated into training? These are the questions we explore with our guests in the episode #4 of TVET Talks.

Episode’s host: Aline Moraes Amling, Communications Officer, Hanno Kress, Chief Technical Advisor, and Julia Olesen, Senior Technical Advisor

            <description><![CDATA[In this episode on the Ghana’s national TVET Report, Julia Olesen interviews Samuel Thompson, Director for Policy Planning, Projects, Research, Monitoring and Evaluation at the Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET) in Ghana. He is the one leading the TVET reporting team.
Samuel shares with us why it is important to provide evidence-based reporting for policy-making.
