BUILD UP Skills Poland - Pillar 1
The project represented the first phase of the BUILD UP Skills initiative in Poland. The first objective was to gather the key national stakeholders from the energy, education & training and building sectors. Together they formed a National Qualification Platform. The platform mapped the existing workforce and qualification programs, identified future skills needs and analysed which gaps and barriers must be overcome in order to train the workforce and reach the 2020 EU energy targets. Results were bundled in a National Status Quo report. The platform then formulated a National Roadmap of measures to overcome skills gaps and barriers, which was endorsed by key stakeholders.
INSTRUCT focused on demonstrating the direct link between highly skilled construction workers and the actual energy performance of buildings to boost market demand for qualified professionals. The project developed specialized training programs, established mutual recognition frameworks for energy skills, and promoted the use of digital worker skills passports. As a result, the project successfully upskilled personnel across the entire construction supply chain while providing concrete evidence to stakeholders that investing in trained workers leads to higher quality, energy-efficient building renovations.
BUILD UP Skills II Poland
BUPS Poland tackled the urgent need for a highly qualified building workforce in Poland to meet the 2030 energy efficiency targets. By conducting a detailed analysis of the local labor market, the initiative successfully pinpointed the exact skills gaps hindering sustainable building renovations. As a lasting resource, the project offers a robust national roadmap that training providers can currently leverage to develop effective, future-proof upskilling programs for construction workers.
Enhancing Market Readiness for nZEB Implementation
nZEB Ready aimed to drive the implementation of nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEB) by directly addressing the market's need for highly qualified professionals and reliable technology solutions. The initiative successfully trained a critical mass of workers, spanning from specialized designers and engineers to on-site installers, while actively engaging public authorities to recognize and demand these advanced energy skills in their projects. As a practical resource for experts seeking to upskill today, the project provides a comprehensive set of ready-to-use training modules and technical guidelines specifically tailored for the design, construction, and certification of high-performance nZEBs.
