Project:
RenovUP – Professionalizing site managers and team leaders in the specific management of building renovation sites in Europe
Identification of the project: 2020-1-FR01-KA202-080105
Duration: 01/10/2020 – 31/08/2023 (36 months)
Budget: 413.987€.
Project Coordinator: France: Comité de Concertation et de Coordination de l’Apprentissage du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics (CCCA-BTP)
Project Partners & Countries involved:
5 EU Countries through the involvement of 5 National Sectoral Social & Education partners. In particular:
- Spain: FLC Asturias –Building Trade Union
- Italy: Formedil– Building Trade Union
- Greece: PEDMEDE – Panhellenic Association of Engineers Contractors of Public Works, Employer’s Organization
- Poland: Łukasiewicz ITE Network– Technological and pedagogical research organization
Scope and Objectives:
RenovUp results from an observation made by professionals in the construction industry: the current training facilities for site managers and team leaders do not take sufficiently account the specificities related to the renovation of buildings and its various constraints.
There is a real need, confirmed by companies and professional federations in the partner countries, to reorient them in terms of objectives, content, and methods of learning, in order to enable the targeted learners to strengthen their capacity to better understand the renovation as a whole, to foresee and plan the related specific interventions, to better communicate and convince in complex situations on these sites.
By designing well-profiled professionalization paths for site managers and team leaders, the project will respond, more particularly, to the expectations of small and medium-sized building renovation companies, as the needs mentioned above are the least satisfied in these companies in the countries of the partnership.
Project Results
The RenovUP project foresees to meet the following results and outputs:
- Systematisation of the skills assessment process on entry into the individualised training system.
- Pragmatic and sustainable promotion of work-based learning in the training strategies and practices of the national networks of training organisations that participated in the project, even beyond the training courses designed and implemented for site foremen and team leaders for building renovation, in line with the expectations of companies on the one hand and the profile of potential beneficiaries on the other.
- A new impetus to design and implement individualised and modular training courses, based on components such as training in work situations, training in training centres or distance learning, which can be integrated into a lifelong professionalization approach.
- Sustainable enrichment of the training offer of the organisations involved in the project, enabling more companies to be attracted to training centres both as beneficiaries of this offer and as partners in the training process.
- Systematisation of the approach to training trainers in the observation and analysis of work situations, enabling them to take them into account in training situations (beyond the training courses for site foremen and team leaders for building renovation).
- Sustainable installation of formal recognition procedures for acquired skills.
- Finally, to make up for the lack of skills sought by companies for their site foremen and team leaders working on building renovation sites on a long-term basis.
