CROSKILLS II

The main goal of the project is to establish a large-scale qualification and training scheme for Croatian blue-collar building workers, based on the recommendations and priority measures defined by the National Roadmap, in order to enable life-long training of qualified and unqualified employed and unemployed workers, as well as systematic market evaluation of qualified workforce. The project focuses on the continuing training of building workers (craftsmen and blue collar workers) that are already on the job market, covering all works on the building envelope (excluding RES workers). Thus, it targets the 6 priority professions identified by the National Roadmap: bricklayers, plasterers, roofers, carpenters, house-painters and prefabricated construction fitters, each taking into account the 4 relevant European Qualifications Framework levels (6 professions x 4 EQF levels). Thus, 24 training modules will be developed and tested, and a functioning certification scheme will be developed. An initial set of at least 10 training centres (training providers) will be accredited country-wide.
