Build Up Skills CROatia: Strengthening energy

efficiency SKILLS and certification schemes

for building workers

Project duration: 36 months

Starting date: 1st September 2014

Construction sector in Croatia

A significant number of craftsmen are not familiar with

the legislative related to EE.

Presently, there are no either organized lifelong

education programmes offered or schemes for licensing

workers and craftsmen in terms of works related to

enhancing energy features of buildings.

The skills required for a quality performance of near-zero

energy buildings are rarely found among construction

workers.

4

Lack of motivation for lifelong education

The market still does not require either specialist training

or separate licensing of construction workers so there is

not any motivation on the part of workers and employers

for investing additional funds in training.

The overall number of workers (43 700) to be trained

in the field of EE and RES has been assessed

Project motivation:

Lack of qualified building sector

workers in energy efficient

retrofitting and construction

Lack of institutional specialized

education schemes

Weak market demand for low-

energy buildings

Lack of national discussion among

the relevant stakeholders on the

needs and possibilities about building

sector workers

Establishment of 6 training schemes and accreditation of

training providers will enable systematic approach to life-

long learning of the Croatian building workers, regardless of

their previous education and skill levels.

Establishment of a national certification scheme for 6 priority

professions will enable proper market evaluation of the

qualified workforce and help to increase demand for skilled

workers.

Project objectives:

Mutual multi-country recognition of

Croatian certification and training schemes

will enable greater mobility of Croatian

workers and Europe-wide recognition of

qualifications.

Sustainability plan will ensure institutional

and financial conditions for continued

implementation of the workers training &

certification schemes until 2020 and

beyond, and ensure “ownership” of the

schemes by the key stakeholders.

Project objectives:

Methodology

Develop 24 different training modules for each of 6priority building professions identified by the NationalRoadmap and 4 modul level

Strengthen capacities of the initial base of trainers –Training of trainers

Set up the future national certification system whichcan enable market evaluation of the qualified on-siteworkforce for energy efficient building - Accreditationand training system

Methodology

Expected results:

14

At least 1200 educate and certificate workers for energy

efficiency building

At least 10 accredited training centres and 200 educated

trainers across Croatia

Verified comprehensive training programs in the field of

energy efficiency for 6 priority construction professions

Functional national programs for certification of workers and

accreditation of training providers in the field of energy

efficiency for 6 priority construction professions at Croatian

Chamber of Civil Engineers
