BUILD UP Skills Germany - Pillar 2 (QUALITRAIN)
The project aimed to implement the national skills roadmap developped under the previous Pilar 1 project, through the development of training and qualification schemes for onsite workers and craftspeople.
ESTABLISHING FUTURE-ORIENTED TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION QUALITY STANDARDS FOR FOSTERING A BROAD UPTAKE OF SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SKILLS IN THE EUROPEAN CONSTRUCTION SECTOR
TRAIN4SUSTAIN focused on harmonizing sustainable energy skills across the European construction sector by developing a unified, standardized system to evaluate and compare professionals' qualifications. The initiative successfully established the Competence Quality Standard (CQS) - which was officially validated as a European pre-standard (CEN Workshop Agreement) - providing a clear framework to score the green skills of both blue- and white-collar workers. As a powerful tool for professionals seeking to upskill, the project launched the European Skills Registry and a digital Skills Passport, which function as active matchmaking platforms to help trained experts prove their competencies and connect with new sustainable building projects.
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.
