Overview of the project
EKONEA is a programme in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region that provides training for careers in the ecological transition. Supported by GIP FIPAN, NEEDE and CFAI Provence, it adapts and creates sustainable training courses for all audiences. The project also aims to extend into the Mediterranean with European support.
As a resource and support centre for environmental transition professions, EKONEA aims to develop the skills needed for environmental transition in professional training courses, in order to increase the expertise of new professionals and guide young people into green professions.
