SEETheSkills supports the empowerment of experts to address interventions and renovation of the existing building stock, specifically looking at energy skills. This is done through a triple approach: 1. showing the value of energy skills in construction; 2. promoting upskilling and reskilling opportunities; 3. promoting the new skills on the labour market. [CINEA1]   [SM2]

The project aimed to stimulate the market demand for developed, new, or upgraded energy skills by tackling challenges in energy-efficient construction and renovation. A novel 3V approach was utilized to enhance skills: Visible, Validated, Valuable.

The project resulted in facilitating mutual recognition of energy skills and increasing the number of skilled building professionals. The lack of visibility and structure of existing outcomes led to the absence of recognition of the value of energy skills and insufficient demand for skilled professionals.

The BUILD UP Skills United (BUSUnited) project, under the LIFE Clean Energy Transition programme, promotes sustainable energy skills in Europe’s construction sector by fostering collaboration, innovative training, and large-scale upskilling to support the EU’s climate-neutral goals.

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