Abstract
This chapter shows how sustainable business is key to creating new growth in the form of better job opportunities and career empowerment. As sustainability becomes more integral to companies' operations, there will be a further increased demand for professionals who understand and know how to apply the practice. This chapter discusses the incorporation of sustainability into training programs and how such initiatives go a long way toward the building of resilient job markets that allow people to progress in their careers. It will showcase examples of companies where the adoption of sustainable development yields a huge growth in the business and fosters innovation and competitiveness. The chapter calls for an analysis of the challenges and opportunities related to the design of training programs that can match the emergent demand required in the Green Economy. Finally, it underlines that strategic training has to be an effective instrument for providing the labor force with the necessary skills to prosper in the sustainable business landscape.
