The ESG4PMChange project stands at the forefront of integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance(ESG) principles into project management education and training, marking a pivotal shift towards sustainable business practices across Europe and beyond. This initiative represents a collaborative effort among HEIs, VET providers, PM2 Alliance, and SMEs to address the growing demand for ESG-focused competencies in the workforce. By fostering an environment of cooperation and knowledge exchange, the project aims to catalyze innovation, enhance the sustainability agenda, and create a significant multiplier effect. At its core, the project conducts an exhaustive education gap analysis to align current offerings with the dynamic demands of the job market for ESG-focused project management roles. Building on this foundation, the initiative develops standardized professional profiles and a competency framework, ensuring that project management professionals are equipped with the essential skills for integrating ESG principles into their work. This project pioneers an innovative ESG4PMChange learning framework, incorporating practical, real-world application through Living Labs, where students and professionals can apply ESG principles in actual project settings. This hands-on approach bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, enhancing the learning experience and ensuring the curriculum’s relevance and effectiveness. In addition to educational components, the ESG4PMChange project introduces a digital resource hub, integrating MOOCs and OER to provide accessible, high-quality learning opportunities on ESG project management. Moreover, the project establishes a pioneering micro-credential framework to formally recognize and validate ESG project management competencies. This framework aligns with educational and industry standards, providing a structured pathway for professional development and recognition in the field of ESG project management
