Tender awarded to Fondazione ADAPT in quality of external expert by SGI EUROPE

This project aims to create lasting relationship between providers of education and training and of public services and SGIs.

Such articulations will be indispensable for an efficient transition to climate neutrality, which will be the very core of EU action for the coming decades.

The key angle for this project will therefore be to focus on education and training and the subsequent skills delivery to the labour market. In 2 years of activity (2021-2023), the project will target six Member States: the Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, France, Germany, and Spain.

SGI Europe and EFEE will work with project partners from their membership for identifying the current and future demands for green skills and jobs, improving VET providers’ capacity to deliver green-oriented training and design common solutions for adapting skills delivery in the context of a framework of collaboration between education and public services’ providers.

Fondazione ADAPT, in quality of external expert, will be responsible for animating three sectoral workshops and delivering a research report covering the issues prior to the project.

The report will be drafted relying on multi-method approach which makes use of surveys, interviews and statistical and literature reviews.

Green@work will promote the adoption of best practices, effective models and tools by stakeholders particularly of German, Croatian and Italian unions, in chemical and energy sectors. The achievement of climate neutrality, sustainability are a particular challenge for the chemical industry and for the energy industry, since in addition to the ecologically sensible goals, the maintenance of the existing value chains and the future security of the jobs of industrial employees must also be in focus. The project aims to answer the following questions, in particular what technical possibilities of transformation are there and what is their social acceptance like; what possibilities of influencing the necessary transformation processes do the trade unions have at the European and national level, in order to fully achieve the short and long term goals of climate neutrality also established by the "European Green Deal" and the "Masterplan for a Competitive Transformation of EU Energy-intensive Industries Enabling a Climate-neutral Circular Economy by 2050".

The project focuses on the following broad objectives:

• Innovation and its link to the long-term skills strategy development of enterprises to meet changes.
• The nature and extent of cooperation between enterprises, social partners, education and training providers and organisations that aim to foster research and innovation, with a focus on how to organise partnerships effectively so as to improve access to high quality and innovative employee training and to improve the relevance and updating of curricula.
• The different ways in which countries and enterprises provide and foster access to training, including through new approaches, such as digital learning, training entitlements, and the effectiveness of training in responding to the changing needs of employers and workers.
• The changing nature of work and training content in view of new trends and developments – the need to combine technical and soft skills.
• The project will bring together the European Social Partners and their member organisations. It will also dialogue with a wider range of relevant EU level organisations that are active in this area, including EU sectoral organisations.

The aim is to identify different approaches to innovation, skills, provision of and access to training and to produce a final report and policy recommendations using the outcome of the mapping study, the survey and interview outcomes, and 3 thematic seminars to identify a number of positive examples of integrated approaches to innovation, skills, provision of and access to training which could be promoted at EU level. The project will be closed by a joint conference at the end of the project to discuss main findings, disseminate reports, and discuss possible following steps.

The 3 thematic seminars will be structured around the following themes:

• Provision of and access to training to support innovation: The role of social partners and collective bargaining.
• Game changing technologies and innovative approaches to the identification of new skills.
• Financial incentives for research and development and skills investments.
