Since well qualified construction workers are one of the key factors for achieving significant contribution towards the 2020 energy efficiency objectives, in both the national and EU levels, the Project "BUILD UP Skills - Greece" (BUS-GR) – focusing on and addressing the specific Greek needs – aims to facilitate the Building sector Workforce Training and Qualification by agreeing on and elaborating a National Qualification Roadmap.
The specific objectives of BUS-GR are to:
- form a national platform on Energy Efficiency and RES related training programs and qualification schemes for the building construction sector workers;
- identify and quantify the need for qualified workforce in Greece in order to describe the current status quo;
- design and set up a national training and qualification strategy (the Roadmap) up to 2020 for the achievement of national sustainable energy goals;
- ensure the roadmap adoption by all relevant stakeholders in Greece via the appropriate endorsement activities.
