The resulting technical professional is capable of: performing analysis of the maintenance requirements, planning the activities aimed at improving the built environment and at guaranteeing energy efficiency; using methods of buildings life cycle management starting from the project, through Building Information Modeling – BIM.

Outcomes

Results of the project/initiative:
In-depth analysis including:
• a building sector with a shortage of skilled labour;
• the need for competences and skills not met by the public education and training system.

Impacts/Outcomes 2:
Guidelines for improving/implementing the innovative aspects relating to common qualification of „Construction Site Technician“

Impacts/Outcomes 3:
Introduction of specific training for the Construction site technician.

Policy/Initiative

Skills Gaps:
Innovative processing sectors are emerging that require new competences such as:
• energy efficiency, digital competences, addressing new types of possible accidents deriving from new processes;
• greater need for transversal/behavioural competences.

Recommendations

Training:
• Creating a training qualification scheme for young people and unemployed
• Updating the professional training and employment policies
• Setting up a forum for valorisation and more effective use of the European tools for qualification transparency
