EE-VET: Improving the efficiency and attractiveness of vocational education/training of electricians

The shift to clean and energy efficient technologies is key to achieving the EU's climate policy goals.

By optimising energy consumption and reducing energy losses, the installation of buildings has less impact on the environment.

The implementation of energy-efficient technologies in the electrical installation of buildings and the green switchover requires skilled and trained professionals. 

EuropeOn predicts that to meet the 2030 climate targets, Europe will need as many skilled electricians as it takes to install 3,000 solar panels, 1,000 electric vehicle chargers and 15,000 heat pumps every day.

Skilled workers are therefore urgently needed to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. In this context, the project aims to develop the skills and competences of current and future electricians in the field of energy efficiency of building electrics, and thus help the European electrical industry to overcome the shortage of qualified professionals.

To this end, we are developing a modern, online vocational training. Those who complete this training will be able to apply modern solutions to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions in buildings.

With the knowledge and competences acquired, electricians will be able to control building automation, monitor energy parameters and all building equipment.

The web-based training will also improve the digital competences of the students and their trainers.

The training modules will be published as open educational resources.
