Summary BuildUpSkillsNL unites national forces to increase the number of qualified ‘blue collar’ workers covering all relevant crafts and professions in order to meet the 2020 objectives in the built environment. A national energy-efficiency and renewable energy training and qualification platform is initiated. A consortium has been formed with parties from training sector and building sector. BuildUpSkillsNL started with the identification and quantification of the need for a qualified workforce. A complete analysis of the national situation is made and a method is developed to keep it up to date. In order to assure a workforce skilled on energy efficiency and sustainable energy the needed skills will be implemented in existing and new profession competence profiles. Actions needed for successful training of the workforce are defined in the National Roadmap. To ensure endorsement the consortium consists of organizations that have national status. These organizations function as linking pins for endorsement of the roadmap. As a result, the national roadmaps are endorsed by the relevant authorities and stakeholders with a commitment to carry out and implement the proposed strategy.

Project’s results Some results we are proud of Result 1 We have created graphical sketches of current job profiles and the changes that will effect these job profiles. These sketches are very suitable talking pictures that have been used to explain the coming changes for the different occupations.

For the discussion of the roadmap with platform partners we designed a visual analysis model. By using this model all stakeholders were able to see the impact of BuildUpSkills and appoint their own role.

National qualification platform and stakeholder engagement : Result 2 Total number of organizations participating in the platform: 147 participating, around 40 by signed letter of support. - 40+VET-schools, 10 post-initial training institutes - 2 conferences and more than 20 bilateral meetings organized The platform's primary objective is to ensure continuity and integrated implementation of the actions taken by BuildUpSkills.

National Report on training needs and gaps (status quo report): Result 3 Number of workers involved in the (construction/building/craftsmen and other on-site workers): 350.000 Number of workers requiring training: 250.000 Number of workers currently trained: data not available Professions with the highest needs: 1) carpenters; 2) mechanics/electrical installations mechanics; 3) plasterers 4) roofers 5) bricklayers

Qualification and training roadmap: Result 4 - Development of a qualification structure for craftsmanship (B.4.2) - Development of interdisciplinary courses (H.15.1) - Development of quality assurance of post national courses (F.19.1) Endorsement process: Result 5 By combining the setup of the National Platform with the endorsement

2 activities we have ensured that BuildUpSkills will be part of the national strategy in the sector. Characteristic for the market actors is that they usually function as an umbrella organization for tens to thousands of companies. We inform them so that they in turn can inform their members and embed the actions in their policies.

Lessons learnt There was much confusion by the market actors on the skills that have to be Lesson 1 trained. Therefore all market actors are eager for the results of the analysis. The available information is too much scattered.

Investments in developing and providing training are usually done too late. Lesson 2 The training providers need sufficient demand by learners before developing and providing trainings. That mass is coming if sustainable building becomes a success. But before that success well trained and skilled workers are needed.

There are a lot of National initiatives going on. Committed market actors Lesson 3 bringing results to the attention of these initiatives works very well for getting broad attention and fast endorsement.

Testimonials from key participating stakeholders (New!)

Testimonial 1 Titia, Siertsema, – President UNETO-VNI: " One of the most positive aspects of Build Up Skills is that the program has led to a clear picture of the areas in which extra training is needed so that installers can apply these techniques…. additionally, it offers our sector opportunities, meaning that we can grow and remain an attractive option for young people in this industry."

Testimonial 2 Marsha, Wagner, Program Manager Human Capital Agenda Topsector Energy: “As Topsector we see that we have an interest, that the innovations and sustainable techniques are applied properly by well- trained people, both initial and post-initial. Also it is important for the sector that all young people properly educate themselves particularly in the technical disciplines. BuildUpSkills can be seen as one of the enablers for the innovation objectives of the Topsector.
