Description

The project is located in the context of VET in construction mainly and to some extent in VET in general. The context is furthermore defined by the areas and scopes of works of the partners, i.e. VET in the narrow sense and implicit increase of the recruitment of talents and experts as well. Also the scientific approaches as well as the didactical methods introducing and further developing of work-based training (e.g. dual systems in VET). The context of transition phases in VET (in general and in particular in construction) define the work program and the professional exchange of experience in this project.

The objectives are the professional exchange of experience concerning:
Employer Branding: Innovative ways to bind employers to the company and to optimize the satisfaction of aspiring professionals (apprentices) by increasing the external and internal relationship. Are there any examples to be taken from other branches?
Boomerang Hiring : HOW and WHY to install new positions for ex-employees? What does an employer has to consider, to create and to offer new chances for experts who have decided to come back? Are there any different approaches in construction branch necessary than in other branches (e.g. economics, insurances, automotives)?
Network-Recruiting: How to convince employees´ friends, family members or other peer group members to start a carreer in the construction branch?

Partners

BZB, GZS, VSRC, IF Center

Aim

The aim of this exchange of experiences is it to find and to optimize the ways (how) to find and recruit new would-be experts for the construction sector.

Outcomes

Impacts/Outcomes 1:
Impact on participants and target groups: short term impact in all partner countries consist of the identification of the most appropriate content for the project topics through exchange of experience among the project partners, questionnaires with third parties. This will lead to findings, needs and thus innovative approaches for developments within the construction branch. Hence, participants will be part of the editing of innovation.
Impacts/Outcomes 2:
Long term impact in all partner countries consist of:
Within the last ten years the number of experts in construction was decreasing. Unfourtunately this trend seems to be continued in future. By finding ideas to support the reversal of this process the consortium intends to install an European wide and sustainable start-up discussion and practical approaches for concerned SMEs and other parties.

Impacts/Outcomes 3:
Impact of partcipating organisations: the project will speed up the further-developing of partners´ performances inside their VET-systems - at least when the three topics of the project are concerned. Taking into account that all of them already belonged to the most active ones in their countries in terms of innovation development in form of projects among others, they now with this project do a big leap forward, because they benefit from the exchange of good practices.

Policy/Initiative

Mis-Matching of Skills:
The project TALENTS4CONSTRUCTION is dealing with the lack of junior staff in the European construction sector. The consortium intend to find new aproaches and ways to support stakeholders, member firms and vocational training service providers by finding, matching and holding young talents. Following three main topics are essential to be worked on:
- Employer Branding: innovative ways to bind employers to the company and to optimize the satisfaction of aspiring professionals (apprentices) by increasing the external and internal relationship --> Are there any examples to be taken from other branches?
- Boomerang Hirering: HOW and WHY to install new positions for ex-employees? What does an employer has to consider, to create and to offer new chances for experts who have decided to come back? --> Are there any different approaches in construction branch really more necessary than in other branches (e.g. economics, insurances, automotives?)
- Network-Recruiting: How to convince employees´ friends, family members or other peer group members to start a carreer in the construction branch?

Based on several surveys to be installed and sent to stakeholders, member firms and relevant boards, the consortium is invited to work out relevant answeres and approaches in order to improve the sectors´ shortage of young people.

The main idea of TALENTS4COBSTRUCTION is to combine collective experiences and innotaive approaches which will lead to deeper developments of outcomes to be produced within further stategic partnerships after this project.

Recommendations

Entrepreneurship Opportunities:
Establishing a pool of further companies (no competitors) in order to attract further junior staff with "Swarm Recruitment";
companies are planning or already have cooperations with educational institutions in order to attract junior staff;
believe that "matching bots" (websites that compare companies and candidates with algorithms) will be the future.
SMEs need support in employer branding strategy.
