NESSIE

Goal

With NESSIE (NEw Skills & Spaces Impulse for the Education of aspiring energy-transition installers), we aim to recruit more human capital and accelerate knowledge transfer to professionals. We do this by developing and implementing innovative recruitment campaigns and new education modules based on local, regional and (inter)national best practices.

Facts

Description

The EU Green Deal aims to make the EU climate neutral by 2050. To achieve this, a significant, rapid increase in sufficient staff and skills of craftsmen in the field of energy transition is crucial. Through NESSIE, we contribute to this by training future human capital. Employment of energy transition craftsmen, including electricians, installers, service technicians and plumbers, needs to grow exponentially and millions of jobs need to be created in the coming years to make the energy transition a reality.

Our role

We are the coordinator and support the various activities within the project. The focus of this relates to the organisation of workshops and replication activities, where we assist the project partners. We are also responsible for implementing the project’s communication and dissemination initiatives and involved in organising the final conference.
