Objective
This project responds to the stated need of industry for a programme of training and a vocational qualification in a new technology. Intelligent Building Systems are a product of the digital revolution which is causing a rapid convergence of both new and traditionally separated sectors of industry and commerce using information technology, electronics, computers and communication networks. Additionally, such systems are facilitating the profound changes taking place in both corporate structures and working practices.
The aim of this project is to establish a European vocational training programme based on defined work competencies for persons employed in the Intelligent Buildings sector. An accreditation scheme and qualification acceptable to European employers will be developed. A transnational network will also be established, consisting of employers and training providers to deliver the training programme and facilitate individual learning towards a qualification in Intelligent Buildings systems.
The partners will develop a programme to produce a functional map of the sector, followed by a functional analysis to define the key work competence elements and units for the industry. Learning materials will be produced in a form that will facilitate a broad range of learning modes, from tutored training to individual on or off the job study. Assessment strategies will also be designed.
Impact
This project is expected to have a major impact on the development of this new industrial sector as a direct result of the close cooperation between a wide range of employers and training organisations.
