A Horizon 2020 project setting up national qualification and training schemes for craftsmen in the Czech Republic and developing the further offer of training courses in Slovakia, Austria and Bulgaria

Quality of the education in the building sector

CraftEdu develops innovative qualification and training schemes for craftsmen and on-site workers in the field of energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources in buildings. CraftEdu supports the EU policies for introduction of nearly zero-energy buildings and deep energy building renovation within a vision for a decarbonized building stock in 2050. 

What is our challenge?

• ​Low quality of construction works on-site directly influencing energy efficiency in buildings;
• Structural changes in construction industry and technological changes related to energy efficiency and development of renewables;
• Decreasing number of pupils at the construction professional schools  and low interest of  youth to the construction industry.
• A significant gap between the skills of the construction workers and the market demand

What we deliver?

The project will set up national qualification and training scheme for craftsmen in the Czech Republic and develop the further offer of training courses in Slovakia, Austria and Bulgaria.
