3 EE14: construction skills Specific challenge: Need to improve skills of middle and senior level professionals and blue collar workers Scope: upgrading or setting up large-scale qualification & training schemes Proposals to address coordination & accompanying measures (not the running of training actions!) E.g. voluntary certification schemes, accreditation, mutual recognition between MS, incentives to encourage participation of workers in trainings, sustainability, O&M etc.

4 EE14: construction skills - Objective Increase number of skilled building professionals and/or blue collar workers across the building value chain: designers, architects, engineers, building managers, technicians, blue collar workers incl. apprentices and others Improve overall quality of renovations & new constructions Accelerate renovation rate Ensure proper interactions between different trades & professions e.g. using BIM Improved appreciation of end user's needs incl. quality of indoor environment and improved O&M

5 EE14: construction skills Important!!! Possible to focus on one or various eligible countries Possible to address middle, senior level professionals and/or blue collar workers Focused (not necessary to address whole range of professions & crafts) Sustainability Develop & roll-out certification & accreditation schemes to improve skills & knowledge to increase quality May include entire design chain (incl. manufacturers) & material life cycles and embodied energy

6 EE14: construction skills If addressing support to trainees => link to other sources of funding at national level e.g. ESF Link to BUILD UP Skills initiative, especially take into account the recommendations of the national qualification roadmaps EQF

7 EE14: construction skills expected impacts Set up & implementation of sustainable qualification & training schemes for building professionals and/or blue collar workers Plans for sustainability and replication Increase in the number of skilled building professionals and/or blue collar workers Improved collaboration & understanding across trades & professional groups

8 EE14: construction skills expected impacts Demonstrated reduction in the gap between designed and actual energy performance through improved quality of construction Measurable energy savings and RES production Improved market recognition of skills in the building sector

9 BUILD UP Skills - Structure Pillar I National Qualification Platforms and Roadmaps Call for proposals 2011 and 2012 Pillar II Qualification and Training Schemes Call for proposals 2012, 2013, 2014 European Exchange Activities Organised by EASME

10 BUS - Pillar I National Qualification Platform Gathers stakeholders from the energy, education & training and buildings sectors Status Quo Analysis Mapping existing workforce Future needs for 2020 Gaps and barriers analysis National Roadmap Measures Endorsement

11 30 countries! Call 2011 countries Call 2012 countries

12 Identifying needs : main conclusions Slight shortage of building workers by 2020 in most European countries The need for training of the current workforce is much stronger than the estimated need for additional workers More than 3 million workers would require up-skilling on energy efficiency or renewable energy sources by 2020 Importance of transferable and cross-trade knowledge and skills

13 BUILD UP Skills - Structure Pillar I National Qualification Platforms and Roadmaps Call for proposals 2011 and 2012 Pillar II Qualification and Training Schemes Call for proposals 2012, 2013, 2014 European Exchange Activities Organised by EASME

14 From strategy to action Pillar II 10 BUILD UP Skills Pillar II projects have started in October 2013 (blue collar workers only!): national projects in AT, CY, DE, EE, ES, FI, IE, LV, NL, RO 12 BUILD UP Skills Pillar II projects have started in September 2014 (blue collar workers only!): national projects in BG, EL, HR, HU, IT, LT, LU, MK, PT, SE, SK 5 new projects started between March-June 2015 (Construction Skills topic under Horizon 2020; blue and/or white collar workers) Work programme

15 Tenders BUILD UP Skills Evaluation of BUS Pillar I results expected early 2016 EU-Exchange activities meetings 2x/year with all BUS projects creation and animation of Technical Working Groups on specific topics of interest for the BUS PII coordinators

16 EE14: construction skills - budget Between 0.5 and 1 million EUR This does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts Min. 1 legal entity! Type of Action: CSA Deadlines: 15 September 2016 and 7 June 2017 If not interested in submitting => maybe interested in being an expert
