SEBCoVE: Smart Electricity for Buildings – Centres of Vocational Excellence

The Smart Electricity for Buildings – Centres of Vocational Excellence (SEBCoVE) project aims to develop regional Vocational Excellence Hubs (CoVEs) in the Smart Electricity for Buildings sector. The CoVEs will support the Smart Specialisation of their regions and establish international knowledge hubs for vocational education and training (VET) excellence systems. The ambition is to be world-class reference points for up- and reskilling of professionals engaged in the Smart Electricity for Buildings (SEBs) sector.

Main objectives:

• Develop agile, resilient, and future-proof VET systems, that can support electricians towards employment, manage their entry to a changing labour market and ensure that they all will have an opportunity to access vocational programs tailored to digital transition.
• Develop new curricula, keeping up-to-date technical skills based on the main EU VET standards according to VET policy recommendations, thus supporting transparency and recognition.

Main deliverables:

• Innovative pedagogy by deploying learner-centered methods, including augmented reality applications, serious games, and animated video, in the training process of a ubiquitous hybrid learning environment.
• Transparent certification mechanism, under a “micro-credential” approach, and flexible learning pathways, by adopting certifiable blocks of competences to be certified and accumulated towards the main competence acquisition.
• Embedding in the new curricula the so-called “21st-century skills” (transversal skills), and also promoting the acquisition of entrepreneurial attitudes, mind-sets and skills, as well as digital skills.
