D.7.7 Policy recommendations for a pan–European common approach for sustainable energy skills recognition

This report presents recommendations for a common pan – European approach for recognition of sustainable energy and digital skills, applied in the building sector.

Recognition of skills is understood in two aspects: 1) educational (content, scope, assignment, level, proficiency, format and comparability of competences, developed by different programs, certification schemes and national systems of qualifications) and 2) commercial (requirements included in tenders for public and private procurement of building projects, for competences and certificates of engaged workforce, in the field of sustainable energy and digital skills).

Recommendations are intended to contribute to improvement of policy and practice, including tendering procedures, for recognition of sustainable energy and digital skills in all phases of procurement and execution of building projects. As such, they are expected to be of use for public and private procurement of building projects.

D.7.6 Report on the Workshop for effective market implementation

This report contains a description of the international workshop organized within the Task 7.6, and a summary of outcomes, findings and conclusions resulting therefrom.

The workshop took place on 10th September 2024, from 11.00 to 12.30 CET and consisted of three parts:

  1. a brief presentation of the project objectives and achievements, with a focus on the learning platform and the set of supportive and stimulating measures for an increased market demand of sustainable energy and digital skills,
  2. discussion with participants, collecting their opinions, suggestions and examples of good practices in the subject field,
  3. conclusions,, as a basis for a common framework of effective market-driven set of interventions and advancement in implementation.

Designed as an on – line communication event, the main objective of the ARISE International Workshop was to enable the stakeholders of the building supply chain, from different countries, to share experience and
opinions on market demand and implementation of competences in sustainable energy and digital skills, in the procurement of building projects in their countries. Through a specific combination of presentation and
discussion sessions, ARISE main achievements were presented and discussed with over 50 participants from about 10 countries, with a variety of professional profiles in: policy, procurement, academia and industry.

The main outcomes from the workshop on effective implementation included in this report provide an overview of stakeholders’ suggestions for effective interventions strategies, impacts and advancement.

Impact Monitoring Report

This report covers the first fifteen months of the ARISE project and will encompass the current data collection, analysis, and reporting for all of the work packages for the project over this period.

This impact report covers the market need for digitalisation of skills and will look to analyse the potential need/impact for the solutions offered under the ARISE project.

It must be noted that this period September 2021 through to November 2022 is only the start up phase of the ARISE project and the assessment of impact will be assumptive and based on our work with industry to date.

These first steps towards project implementation have helped change and amend our delivery in order to meet the ever-changing needs of industry and society. The ARISE project seeks to develop a project that will in a wider cohesive partnership with other EU projects and partners cultivate an skills and training ecosystem approach that enables the skills/training sector to introduce disruptive technologies in a timely and progressive manner, taking into account input and feedback from industry, trainers, service providers and authorities.

D.6.2 Survey Report – user's feedback on the competence matrix

This present report explores the approach and methodology and production of the survey/questionnaire to obtain public feedback regarding the Qualifications Recognition Scheme and Maturity Level.

The survey proposed format allows several actors to comment:

  • the framework,
  • on their understanding of concepts and benefits of digitalisation skills (BIM in particular) and associated energy efficiency,
  • on their personal skills within that context,
  • and evaluate if, and how, the proposed Framework conceptually can offer them a suitable upskilling pathway.

With the survey exercise, participants will be encouraged to self-reflect and recognise the advantages of recognition and validity of skills for improvements of the workforce, and its contribution to increase employability and job mobility.

D.4.6 Platform, including Gamification

This deliverable documents the ARISE platform’s pilot implementation, focusing on Platform deployment utilizing a dataset which contains the links between resources available and the unit of learning outcomes including Gamification.

Building on previous ARISE reports, it illustrates how users can access modules, and earn Open Badges linked to ULOs from the ARISE qualification. It also highlights the gamification principles applied to guide, nudge and reward the learner.

This to bring the learner a personal learning pathway that involves a combination of methodologies and materials to deliver training content related to BIM and sustainability in the construction industry

D.3.5 Guidelines as a basis for digital implementation

The foundation of the ARISE platform architecture is built upon a set of core principles from the Grant Agreement that drive its design and functionality. Firstly, the platform is mobile web based, ensuring accessibility and convenience for learners on various devices. Secondly, it adopts a platform-based implementation approach, leveraging existing IT solutions, apps, databases and protocols to streamline integration and enhance efficiency.

The ARISE platform incorporates a learning management system (based on Moodle) and an app for smartphones (Build Up Skills Advisor) dedicated to offer learning material and measure the maturity of skills. These elements foster a continuous and personal learning journey to encourage personal skill development, enabling learners to track their progress and growth.

To further empower learners, recognise and verify their achievements, the ARISE platform implements block-chainable Open Badges. This automate the recognition processes for completing bite-size modules, authenticating and verifying credentials. Gamification elements are included to stimulated lifelong learning by providing tangible and motivating rewards for the learners’ dedication and progress.

D.7.5 Recommendations for market stimulating and supportive measures

The Report describes ARISE developed recommendations for national policy makers, public administration, investors, and building owners, intended to assist them in designing, improving and applying advanced procurement requests for construction workforce who are certified for sustainable energy and digital skills in new construction and renovation projects.

Results and findings of D7.4: Overview of best practices in market implementation of skills have been used, as well as outputs of the report D7.1, Guidelines to align ARISE learning outcomes with national qualification frameworks, describing ARISE framework potential to be matched with national qualifications framework in the fields of digital and sustainable energy skills.

The objective of Report D7.5 is to provide recommendations for market stimulating and supportive measures for enhanced demand of sustainable energy and digital skills, as well as guidelines on how to start and carry out reforms in procurement procedures, in order to implement the suggested measures.

For the purposes of this report, an example of a form of basic specification for competencies in digital and sustainable energy skills, to be applied in procurement procedures, was suggested, based on the ARISE Report D3.3 Qualification framework of sustainable energy skills leveraged by digitalisation incl. BIM.
