Objective
The need to protect the environment we live and work in is becoming more urgent and this is increasingly reflected in both European and national legislation. Education systems are moving in the same direction. In Italy, research has clearly demonstrated that health problems are linked to exposure to pollution and the lack of awareness about its dangers both in and out of the workplace.
The objective of this project is to develop training for a new occupation - the European environment and work safety technician. The training will be targeted at young people who are looking for their first job.
During the first year, the partners will undertake research on existing laws, control processes, statistics and training in the field of the environment and work safety. During the second year, the partners will design, develop and test a modular course. Each module will contain professional resources and evaluation tools. The course will be publicised via the internet in order to acquire feedback and suggestions from other relevant organisations. A definitive version of the course will be produced and disseminated in the third and final year of the project.
Impact
The project will contribute to the development of a new occupational profile and relevant training for environment and work safety technicians. The qualification will be of a truly European nature, and individuals who acquire it will be able to work at home and abroad.
