The construction sector is at the heart of Europe's green transition, but achieving this transformation requires more than new technologies\u2014it requires new skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Green Circle project has officially started its journey to identify, develop, test, and assess innovative micro-credentials that will help equip the construction workforce with the competencies needed for a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bringing together vocational education providers, universities, construction companies, industry associations, and research organisations from across Europe, Green Circle aims to create an ecosystem that connects learners, employers, and training providers through flexible and recognised learning opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
