Dedicated to stimulate demand for sustainable energy skills in the construction sector

BUSLeague project tackled the demand for an energy-skilled workforce by developing a publicly available cross-craft qualification framework (comprising 98 tasks and 92 learning outcomes), that remains accessible today for shaping new training programs. During its execution, the project successfully upskilled over 5,600 individuals, including retail staff and installers, while securing concrete commitments to integrate energy skills into public procurement. The project provides open access to a vast compilation of tailored curricula, e-tools, and handbooks, which continue to be utilized by partnered training centers across Europe.

HEAT PUMPS SKILLS FOR NZEB CONSTRUCTION

HP4ALL focused on developing the specialized skills required across the entire heat pump value chain, to ensure high-quality installations and optimal energy performance. By creating a standardized Competency Framework and a comprehensive digital Knowledge Hub, the initiative successfully trained and upskilled technical professionals across EU. The project effectively bridged the gap between supply and demand, equipping installers with advanced technical competencies while empowering end-users to recognize and request highly skilled workmanship.

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.
