EDDIE is a four-year (starting January 2020) Erasmus+ European Union funded collaborative project creating a Sector Skill Alliance (SSA) to develop a long-driven Blueprint for the digitalization the European Energy sector. The Consortia is coordinated by COMILLAS and brings together 16 partners from 10 EU Countries. The challenge of the project is to develop a long-driven Blueprint for the digitalization of the European Energy sector to enable the matching between the current and future demand of skills necessary for the digitalization of the Energy sector and the supply of improved Vocational Education and Training (VET) systems and beyond. From the review of the practices identified, it was established that overall, the initiatives in lifelong learning programs focusing on energy digitalization are commendable steps towards upskilling the workforce.
These programs have the potential to equip individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to stay relevant in the rapidly changing energy sector.
