The project represented the first phase of the BUILD UP Skills initiative in Romania. 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.

The project aimed to provide the necessary update to the work done under the “Pilar I” project of BUILD UP Skills (2011-2013), during which a first analysis of the construction and education sectors was carried out, and a strategy to address workforce and skills shortages by 2020 was designed.Specifically, the project aimed to revitalise the national qualification platform (gathering key national stakeholders), to update the national status quo analysis (overview of workforce and skills gaps) and to update the national roadmap with measures to 2030.
