This document presents the proposed INVEST Competence Framework for Green and Digital Skills for Sustainable Lifestyle. It serves as a comprehensive guide for developing knowledge, skills, competences, values, and mindsets essential for VET learners. The framework aims to equip learners with the necessary tools to thrive in the modern labour market, with a strong focus on sustainability and digital transformation. It is particularly relevant for the Western Balkans region—Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo, and Bosnia and Herzegovina—where economic and social development depends on adapting to global green and digital trends
