Explore Blue MobilityTraining or coaching initially addresses learning and its application. Sharing learning across teams can then support organisational change. Results levels and monitoring arrangements are agreed for each engagement.
Explore our results frameworkOur training and support can advance SDG 4 (education and skills: 4.3, 4.4 and 4.7), SDG 8 (skills supporting decent work: 8.5) and SDG 17 (capacity building: 17.9). The link depends on agreed objectives and content.
Monitoring examples: skills assessed before/after, workplace application, sustainable development modules integrated into a curriculum and progress of supported participants. Coaching or a certificate does not guarantee employment or promotion.
