PROJECT OVERVIEW
RenovUp is a three-year project (2020-2023) co-financed by Erasmus+ funds in the amount of 413 987€ shared by the 5 partners during the project duration.
In order to professionalise site managers and team leaders in the specific management of building renovation sites, RenovUp has made it possible to evolve the concept of professional development for targeted audiences, more individualised and more based on the formative exploitation of the learners’ actual work situations. The partners also wanted the skills acquired to be clearly identifiable, and their recognition to be effective.
RenovUp results from an observation made by professionals in the construction industry: the current training facilities for site managers and team leaders do not take sufficiently account the specificities related to the renovation of buildings and its various constraints. There is a real need, confirmed by companies and professional federations in the partner countries, to reorient them in terms of objectives, content and methods of learning, in order to enable the targeted learners to strengthen their capacity to better understand the renovation as a whole, to foresee and plan the related specific interventions, to better communicate and convince in complex situations on these sites.
To achieve this objective of professionalization the targeted audiences in the countries of the partnership first, then beyond, 5 partners from 5 countries have come together to design a model of repository to meet the evolutions of these two functions, declinable in national schemes, consistent with the priorities, contexts and resources specific to each partner country.
This project brings together experienced and complementary partners in the design and implementation of professionalization schemes for managers, technicians and construction workers: 3 national and regional networks of vocational training (initial and continuing) in the building trades in France (CCCA-BTP), Italy (Formedil) and Spain (FLC Asturias), a recognised technological and pedagogical research organisation in Poland (Łukasiewicz ITE Network) and in Greece, a professional federation of the sector, also advisory body (Pedmede).
With 3 well-identified impacts, declinable at national levels, this project meets company expectations in terms of the skills development of the targeted audiences :
- Real and measurable strengthening of education and professional partnerships established locally, regionally, nationally and at transnational level to meet the expectations of the enterprises concerned in a sustainable and satisfactory manner (especially SME) in terms of their site manager and team leader skills in building renovation;
- Better integration of work situations training into individual professionalisation projects, creating lasting links between in-company training, vocational schools/training centres and e-learning;
- Systematic integration of environmental and climate objectives, as well as constantly evolving S&H standards, into the management of work sites and teams on the work sites concerned.
