Paris: Capgemini has introduced the Capgemini Green Career Assistant, an agentic AI solution developed to help UNICEF expand youth access to green skills and sustainable career pathways.
The tool offers 24/7 personalised career guidance for young people in Brazil, particularly in regions affected by climate change and social vulnerability.
Capgemini Green Career Assistant Supports Youth With AI-Driven Career Mapping
Developed under Capgemini’s Global Data Science Challenge (GDSC), the Capgemini Green Career Assistant uses a multi-agent AI architecture to identify a young person’s interests, skills, and aspirations through conversational interviews.
It then recommends green jobs, highlights skill gaps, and proposes locally relevant training programmes validated by UNICEF Brazil.

The solution is aligned with UNICEF’s Green Rising initiative, which has already empowered over 27 million youth with climate-focused learning and skill development.
A joint report by the Capgemini Research Institute and UNICEF, Youth Perspectives on Climate: Preparing for a Sustainable Future, revealed that while more than half of young people are keen on green jobs, only 44% feel they possess the necessary skills.
The AI career assistant aims to close this gap by connecting users to real, local opportunities.
Capgemini Green Career Assistant Built Through Global Collaboration
The winning GDSC team from Germany developed the Capgemini Green Career Assistant by combining the conversational strengths of generative AI with the reliability of knowledge graphs. This ensures natural dialogue, trustworthy recommendations, and transparent decision-making.
Initial tests using AI-simulated youth personas show an 80% success rate in matching users with appropriate green roles and training pathways. The final solution will be available under an open-source licence to support wider global adoption.

Niraj Parihar, CEO of Insights and Data at Capgemini, said the initiative reflects the company’s commitment to using AI and data to drive positive societal impact.
UNICEF’s Generation Unlimited Deputy Director, Nadi Albino, highlighted that as AI reshapes the workforce, personalised career assistants can help reduce global divides and enable youth participation in the green economy.

- The Capgemini Green Career Assistant is backed by technology support from AWS and Mistral AI.
