Background The project Blueprint for the Construction Industry gathers 3 EU umbrella sectorial organizations, along with 9 national sectorial representatives and 12 Vocational and Education Training providers (24 partners in total) from 12 EU countries with the aim of working together towards the development of a new sectorial strategic approach to cooperate on skills in the sector, and support a better matching between skill needs of companies and skills provided to workers by training centres.ObjectivesThe Skills Blueprint for the Construction Industry project aims at setting up a sustainable sectorial Alliance between key stakeholders in order to reduce skill gaps between the industry requirements and sectorial training provision, and also to contribute to support growth, innovation and competitiveness in the construction industry developing a sectoral skills strategy that will allow to better anticipate skill needs, addressing the current and future labour market shortages in the sector.ImplementationThe Construction Blueprint Project has a duration of 4 years, and is structured in different phases (denominated Work Packages -WPs-). Although these WPs are independent and have their own tasks and objectives, however, all of them are closely interconnected and co-exist at the same time. At this stage only WP2 has been finalised, since the other are initiated but whose finalisation is foreseen in the second half of the project, or are transversal WPs, ie. are implemented during the 4 years timeResultsAt this stage, the main results are: PESTLE Analysis, StatusQuo Report on Sectoral Skills, Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan, Interactive Map of good practices, SSA portal and website, LinkedIn group, all of them publicly available at https://constructionblueprint.eu/results/ (in English language)
Main aim has been to design and implement a sectoral strategy addressed to reduce the skill gaps in terms of digitalisation, circular economy and energy efficiency, in relation to the training offer available for the professionals working in the sector, and the demands and requirements of the construction companies.
The Construction Blueprint project consortium has been composed of 24 partners from 12 EU countries (12 VET providers, 9 national sectoral representatives, 3 EU umbrella sectorial organisations), aiming at developing a new sectoral strategic approach for cooperation on professional skills in the construction industry, and support a more suitable matching between companies’ skill needs and skills provided to the workers by the training providers.

In order to implement the activities in an organised and coherent way, the activities have been structured in eight different Work Packages. << Results >> Selection of results:Construction Skills Observatory (https://www.constructionskillsobservatory.eu/);VET curricula (https://constructionblueprint.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Construction-Blueprint-VET-curricula.pdf);Moodle platform (under registration) (https://constructionblueprint.eu/online-course/)Interactive Map of good practices (https://constructionblueprint.eu/interactive-map/)Roadmap and Action Plan on skills (https://constructionblueprint.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/D4.-Roadmap
