Empowering Green education: Taiwanese visitors explore the Green Skills Academy

Capital City College hosted delegates from Taiwan University at the Green Skills Academy for a day of inspiring and insightful international knowledge exchange.

A group of 16 delegates from Taiwan University visited the Capital City College (CCC) Green Skills Academy at our Tottenham campus to learn about green energy and sustainable technology education practices. The group included professors, assistant professors, teachers, department leaders, principals and directors from Taiwan’s technical and vocational education (TVET) sector.

The visit began with an informal networking session and a presentation about CCC and the Green Skills Academy, which highlighted the academy’s mission and shared the key milestones achieved since its launch in 2022. This was followed by a tour of the academy’s Green Labs, where the visitors saw examples of student work across green technology, retrofitting, renewable energy, sustainable construction and future‑focused skills development.

During the visit, the delegates explored effective ways to integrate renewable energy skills into curriculum design, which will help to inform their work within Taiwan’s vocational training systems. The visiting educators enjoyed learning about the teaching methods, industry partnerships and seeing the hands-on learning environments available at the Green Skills Academy. They were impressed by the clear staff investment in student progress and both the visitors and Green Skills Academy representatives enjoyed sharing their knowledge and insights while discussing different perspectives and ideas.

Mishary Alfahad, Head of Academy Green Industries at CCC, said: “We’re proud that our work is reaching international audiences and contributing to global conversations around sustainability and green skills. A huge thank you to our visitors from Taiwan for making the journey and for the meaningful discussions – we look forward to future collaboration.”

The Green Skills Academy aims to address the longstanding skills shortage in the construction sector and target green careers. Our flexible courses also include employability skills, work experience, support with applications, careers sessions with industry partners and mentoring – all while supporting the emergence of a skilled workforce with the ability to retrofit environmentally friendly energy systems and reduce emissions.
