BUILD UP Skills Lithuania – rebooting the National Construction Platform and Roadmap

Launched in 2011, the BUILD UP Skills initiative is supporting the upskilling of building professionals across Europe, to deliver building renovations offering high-energy performance as well as new Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (NZEBs).

The first objective of this project is to revitalize a construction sector stakeholders’ network in Lithuania (employers’ and workers’ organisations, educational and training centres, public authorities) supporting the upskilling of building professionals, while attracting more than 100 stakeholders.

The second objective is to update the Status Quo Analysis and National Roadmap developed under the first phase of BUILD UP Skills (2011-2012, ‘Pillar I’) to reflect the new realities of the building sector in relation to 2030 energy and decarbonisation targets. The group of individuals and organisations will work together to create a plan of activities, contributing to the plan's recognition and implementation up to 2030.

The Project will address the necessary skills development and certification activities related to digital technologies, smart buildings, resource efficiency, circularity, integration of renewable energy technologies, heating, and cooling, and industrialised deep renovation, while reflecting new regulatory, technological, economic, social, and environmental trends deeply affecting construction sector in Lithuania.

Start date: August 2022 - End date: January 2024
