Project objectives:

The overarching aim of this project is therefore to improve the overall quality of renovations and new constructions, to accelerate the renovation rate and to ensure proper interactions between different trades and professions resulting in energy savings on a short term. This has to be achieved by a strong triple helix approach that is able to achieve the following:

  1. Create market demand for upskilled labors by stimulating intrinsic motivation within the sector itself. This will be achieved by setting-up mechanisms in which the building sector itself, and especially its SMEs, will invest in enforcing their upskilled workers will be a USP. In short, transform the current top-down approach into a bottom-up approach;
  2. Create European bottom-up uptake. Connecting national BUILD UP initiatives so proven approach are shared and accepted throughout Europe.

 

By setting up a method in which technology partners deliver technological trends and methods to education institutes, and creating an (intrinsic) motivation of SMEs and the workforce, we intend to make the difference by allowing the creation of a dynamic  curriculum in education institutes so that training and education programs are able to better match market needs. Also by focusing on the benefits, stimulating permanent education of the construction work force by the public sector and validate and share best practices on financing models for the training and education, we intend to create best conditions for upskilling construction laborers. With this approach we want to go beyond the method and aim of the European BUILD UP SKILLS initiative (http://www.buildup.eu/en/skills) by creating genuine market demand (pull) and a European bottom-up uptake of the needed training schemes for allowing the highly needed next generation of skilled workforce in the construction sector.
