The Portuguese partners of the HABITABLE project — Cluster Habitat Sustentável, CTCV Coimbra, and the University of Aveiro — have officially launched the HABITABLE Alliance Portugal, a new national initiative to strengthen the skills ecosystem in the Habitat sector.

This alliance represents a key step in the project’s mission to develop a network of Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) that are actively contributing to the green and digital transitions. Through the HABITABLE Alliance Portugal, the partners aim to promote inclusive, forward-looking cooperation between VET providers, industry, research, and public stakeholders at national level.

The national alliance will also be closely connected to similar platforms across the countries participating in the HABITABLE project, reinforcing transnational collaboration and knowledge sharing within the European Habitat skills ecosystem.

By aligning educational programmes with labour market needs, and supporting sustainable innovation in training, the HABITABLE Alliance Portugal is committed to enhancing competitiveness, inclusion, and sustainability in the built environment.
