With infrastructure playing a critical role in global sustainability, FIDIC Academy introduces a microlearning game to support the development of tomorrow’s workforce. The infrastructure sector is responsible for significant carbon emissions and environmental impacts, and is one of the focal points in the race to achieve net zero targets, not only for its own emissions but also for the impact it can have on reducing operations and emissions of infrastructure.

The challenge is that change beings at home. The infrastructure sector currently lacks the workforce capacity and capabilities required to deliver on its climate commitment. There are critical gaps in areas such as renewable energy integration, digital literacy, AI-innovation and sustainable construction practices.

FIDIC is uniquely positioned to lead the transformation toward a sustainability-focused infrastructure workforce. Through its initiatives, such as FIDIC Academy, its contracts and flagship events, FIDIC provides platforms to discuss sustainability strategies and workforce development.

Test your knowledge on this topic today in this interactive microlearning course by FIDIC Academy.

We encourage participants to learn more about Capacity Building and Closing the Sustainability Skills Gap by reading more on the topic after the game through FIDIC’s published advocacy State of the World Report focusing on this topic.
