The project

NE(W)AVE’s project aims to create, test and implement a comprehensive learning model for the future professionals in the renewable energies.

Context:

Nowadays in global discussions resource efficiency and the low-carbon society have emerged as central themes.

In 2013 EU has identified the need to turn the Union into a resource-efficient, green and competitive low-carbon economy.

By 2050 in EU’s economy resources will be sustainably managed, from raw materials to energy, water, air, land & soil. EU should cut its emission to 80% below 90’s levels.

In this frame, the forecast is that over a million of new jobs will be created and new technical and soft skills especially in green sector will be redefined.

Although high-level education in this field is largely available, the labour market lacks medium-level and operational manpower. These jobs do not require academic training but solid technical skills.

In this context, NE(W)AVE – reNEWable e-VEt learning project comes to life.
