Abstract	This study focused on people in Frankfurt with low qualifications, meaning those with at most a lower secondary qualification who experience a high risk of poverty and social exclusion, and explored green job opportunities that exist for them, including those that would require reskilling (training to obtain different skills) or upskilling (training to obtain more advanced skills). In this study (unless stated otherwise), green jobs are understood as jobs in businesses that produce goods or provide services that benefit the environment or conserve natural resources, and green skills denote skills needed to adapt products, services and processes to climate change and the related environmental requirements and regulations. Evidence presented here includes national-level data (where regional and local information was not available) and focuses on data specific to green jobs or people with low qualifications. Across the four biggest cities in the district of Darmstadt (Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Wiesbaden and Offenbach), the largest number of people with low qualifications (Helfer) work in the building maintenance sector and the gardening and landscaping sector. Other important sectors include the social services sector, construction, homes and employment services. Existing training provisions seem to focus on supporting people to make sustainable choices in all areas of the lives, not just on gaining skills for employment in the green sector. Few interventions in the region focus on supporting people with low qualifications into green jobs specifically. Full details can be found in the main report.
