Objective
Concern for the environment is opening up new employment opportunities in this sector. Currently, however, there is a significant gap between demand and supply in the environment labour market. At the same time, technological advances and new legislation in energy planning have resulted in organisational changes in the construction industry, and in the need for personnel with relevant new skills. This project aims to address these issues through the development and testing of an innovative training programme designed to equip personnel with knowledge and skills in environmental issues, and the design and construction of buildings.
Programme objectives and content will research training needs in the construction and environment sectors and the analysis of existing training materials. Training programmes, comprising five independent modules, will focus on building design, building renovation, energy efficient buildings and new buildings, and it will be designed for use in flexible continuing training situations.
Materials developed for trainers and trainees will include training instructions, guidelines, background information and a guide for support activities. Testing will be followed by the preparation of an English version of the modules to give European-wide publicity to the programme, and later to a multimedia application plus training package. Project results will be disseminated through workshops, international databases, bulletins and training establishments.
Impact
The project will promote transnational knowledge and skills transfer in the construction industry, and improve vocational training programmes. It will also lead to enhanced employment prospects and worker mobility across Europe.
