The overarching goal of the project is to improve the quality of housing and health of users of buildings, addressing the structural changes in the construction industry – rise of modern technologies paired with a decline in interest among the youth, and a lagging institutional framework for qualification of specialists in sustainable construction. For this purpose, the central focus of CraftEdu is the development of innovative qualification and training schemes for craftsmen and on-site workers in the field of energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources in buildings. Among the initial tasks of the project is the implementation of the Roadmap established and endorsed under Pillar I Build Up Skills projects, utilizing all available knowledge and facilitate the know-how transfer of experience from the STAVEDU and Train-to-NZEB, as well as Fit-to-NZEB, CrossCraft and NEWCOM projects.

  • Development of 7 training programmes for further education and training of craftsmen and on-site workers in the field energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources of buildings.
  • Development of on-site training course based on the training course developed by CrossCraft project (IEE project BUS Pillar II);
  • Development of training courses for further education and training of craftsmen and on-site workers in the field energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources of buildings;
  • Setting up permanent network of trainers delivering the programmes developed under the project;
