The main objective of Construction Blueprint is to develop a new sectoral strategic approach to cooperate on skills in the Construction industry, and support a better matching between skills need of companies and skills provided by training centres. To achieve this goal successfully, the project gathers three Sectoral European Organizations, along with nine National Sectoral representatives and twelve Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Higher Education providers from twelve European Union countries. The objectives are to:
- Collecting good practices at national and regional level to illustrate and promote other initiatives addressing skill gaps, integrated in an Interactive Map
- Designing and piloting training curricula for Energy Efficiency, Circular Economy and Digitalisation for the construction industry; also different online trainings (Massive Open Online Course -MOOC-) on these topics will be available.
- Creating a tool (Observatory) to provide valuable information about particular skill needs at regional/national level.
- Identificating and selecting occupational profiles that should be updated in terms of Energy Efficiency, Circular Economy and Digitalisation.
- Carrying out an outreach campaign for the Construction industry to promote its attractiveness among youngsters and women, identifying and promoting solutions to facilitate mobility of construction workers in Europe.
- Creating a new virtual tool (website) where all project outputs will be available for stakeholders, as well as a Sector Skills Alliance platform for collaborative work.
A Moodle platform has been developed to include a series of free, easily accessible online courses; these modules have been developed in prior funded projects executed by the Construction Blueprint partners and have been made available for any interested person in the topics of Energy Efficiency, Circular Economy and Digitalisation for the construction sector, in different languages.
