The study investigates the potential for directing TVET to suit the demands of a more environmentally and sustainably oriented future. As the "master key" to promoting lifelong learning and addressing poverty, TVET policy and implementation must be focused on the development of sustainable practices that are required to reduce its environmental effect while also meeting labor market needs. The paper addresses concepts such as green employment, sustainable development objectives, green TVET practices, and measures to improve TVET sustainability in the future in order to meet forthcoming global concerns. Furthermore, it analyzes the interaction between economic growth and environmental responsibility, promoting a comprehensive strategy to integrate ecological awareness into the fundamental aspects of vocational training. The objective is to develop a workforce that possesses both technical expertise and a strong ethical commitment to sustainability principles. This will contribute to the growth of a more environmentally friendly economy and a society that is better equipped to handle challenges.
