The HABITABLE project is launched as an innovative response to one of the biggest problems of the housing sector at European level: the shortage of workers in the sector trained in the necessary digitalisation and green transition skills. At the same time promoting inclusion and equity in education. Its objective is clear: to improve the responsiveness of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in a Habitat “skills ecosystem”. The key lies in active collaboration between VET institutions, local partners, and an international network of centres of vocational excellence. HABITABLE offers a space for the training of students and the re-skilling of professionals in the habitat sector, as well as a meeting point for VET stakeholders.
The HABITAT sector integrates a wide group of professional occupations from the sectors of infrastructure construction, housing and installations, activities related to wood and furniture manufacturing, home textiles, electricity and lighting installations, etc. This hyper sector is immersed in a spiral of transformation to improve its productivity and competitiveness, applying more sustainable innovative approaches and solutions, which should be aligned with the cornerstone priorities stated by the European Union and the Erasmus+ Programme: Digital transition, Green transition and skills, Equity and inclusion
The deep transformation in the HABITAT sector demands:
HABITABLE project responds to these needs by developing a Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) in the Habitat sector, and providing a comprehensive set of innovative resources, reference documents, and digital tolos structured in the following funcional areas.
SMART Skills Intelligence Platform designed as an online digital solution to facilitate a skills intelligence monitoring system with relevant and up-to-date information for the Habitat sector.
The platform provides access to resources, new methods and digital tools aimed to generate, process, interconnect and display relevant data and updated information to guide the actions of the Habitat sector skills ecosystem.
Online collaborative platform for VET Centres and SMEs aimed to boost quality, digital, green and inclusive Dual VET, apprenticeship and Work-Based Learning (WBL) in the Habitat sector.
The platform hosts the Community of Practice in WBL excellence and provides access to several resources such as an incubator of Business-Education partnerships, the SMEs quality apprenticeships supporting programme and the WBL for ALL Space.
Multifunctional online platform which supports the Habitat sector skills strategy by providing skills training, certification and career guidance.
The platform provides VET teachers and learners, and SMEs employees, with digital tools to acquire, recognize and receive guidance on labour market relevant skills, including those necessary for the green and digital transitions.
International collaborative Network of Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) to foster a sustainable Habitat sector.
This network is defining a Skills Strategy for the sector, and recommendations to implement it at regional and local level, through new collaborative spaces for cooperation and innovation such as the Skills Ecosystem Innovation Tank and the Co-creation LAB of new projects for CoVEs.
