One of the objectives of the Construction Blueprint project is to promote the upskilling and reskilling of construction workers in the European Union. Among other activities, the consortium has worked on the design and development of a series of training curricula for Vocational Training and Education, concretely in the topics of Energy Efficiency, Circular Economy and Digitalisation for the construction sector, addressed towards workers and/or students with a qualification level between 3-5 of the European Qualification Framework (EQF), and include the training programme, objectives, competences covered, number of hours, etc.

The VET curricula developed are common at the European level, however, each country participating in the project has adapted the programmes according to their national needs. In addition, any VET school in these countries or in other EU countries may adapt them to suit the training needs of their students.

This curricular design takes also into account the adaption of the training for a potential adoption in Initial VET and Continuous VET, considering different types of delivery: face-to-face, e-learning, blended learning. Also, it considers aspects of Work Based Learning (WBL). The number of hours include theoretical and practical topics, and can be adjusted to the training in the workplace or physical workshops in the VET centre.

Training contents linked to the VET curricula:

All the topics included in the three VET curricula, are completed with specific training material (more than 40 modules) which has been developed in the framework of the project, and has been used in pilot courses in the countries of the consortium. This common training material is classified in three topics, energy efficiency, digitalisation and circular economy, and has been adapted by the partners to the national realities, when needed.

The training modules developed are:
