The main aim of the Trained Worldwide Painters project is to support training in the painting and construction industry by providing micro-credentials content tailored to EQF3 level, most adequate to the sector’s needs. This involves enhancing the professional and language skills of migrants currently residing in European countries. The project also seeks to address the shortage of skilled workers in this sector by offering a digital tool that can assist them both during their training and in their daily work. Additionally, the project aims to provide educators and trainers with guidelines for implementing micro-credentials in their training courses, focusing on topics that are currently relevant to the sector.
The Trained Worldwide Painters (TWwP) project aims to attract qualified individuals to the painting and construction sector and to enhance the skills of unemployed people, migrants, and adults from other sectors. TWwP has implemented this by developing and promoting training modules for painters and decorators, aligned with a comprehensive EQF level 3 education programme through micro-credentials for professional development or retraining. To facilitate training delivery, a dedicated digital pedagogical resource - PaintMeApp - was customised for sector-specific training, featuring images, sounds, and texts in seven languages, including English (original version), Arabic, Ukrainian, French, Spanish, Italian, and Greek. Its goal is not only to train sector professionals but also to promote inclusiveness.
