European Energy Management Specialists for SMEs

Description

Considering that energy management has become a high important issue in future Europe and that there’s a huge lack of trained people to meet the energy management needs, it’s a must to develop a clear, transparent, transnational and crossbording e-training. As SMEs represent more than 9O% of the enterprises and more than 70% of the employment in the participating countries, it’s good to meet these enterprises in their needs for qualified energy managers. The project EEMS4SME or European Energy Management Specialists for SMEs will therefore develop an open training and innovative digital platform all over Europe. A lifelong learning digital environment will be established in the field of energy management to answer the huge lack of global training and vision for energy management, which can thus create employment all over Europe. This innovative e-learning platform is ideal to support individuals in acquiring and developing key competences to aim employability and personal development in a fast changing technical and environmental world. The training will support the development of national and cross-country sectoral skills strategies and will support permeability between different training pathways all over Europe. It will tackle all discrimination in gender, age and race as individuals can learn whenever they want, which is ideal to combine work and training. An international digital training with similar understanding will cross the borders of different regions, cultures and legislations.The transparency and comparability of energy management qualifications and learning outcomes will support labour mobility and facilitate transitions between training and the world of work in energy management all over Europe and will thus create employment chances for women, disabled, unemployed graduates in the energy management field, which is an investigation in Europe’s future.In the strategic partnership a good balance is reached between reliable expertise in education and training in energy efficient technologies for students and for adults with the university Thomas More Kempen – Knowledge Centre for Energy (Belgium), the balikesir sustainable development association (Turkey) and the Association Ecoserveis (Spain) on the one hand and partners with good knowledge of the needs of SMEs as the Chamber of Installation Specialists in Bulgaria (CISB), and the Chamber of Commerce of Padua (Italy). All partners have experience in developing training programs and in qualification and re-qualification of technicians and experts. Furthermore the partnership represents different climate conditions spread all over EU and partners have links with EU wide networks to disseminate the projects results. The exchange of best practices and the merge of different insights and experiences from partners all over Europe will guarantee a good common training program for energy management to meet the needs of many SMEs in Europe.In the course of this project, training activities will be carried out, respectively : Train the trainer, Energy Management Specialist training program and e-learning modules. The train the trainer course is transnational, will take place in Turkey during 5 days and is meant for 2 trainers of each participating country. It will be given by highly certified experts in energy management. The target is double : the different national training modules will be reviewed in order to decide how they will be processed in one global online platform and the trainers will be able to disseminate the training in energy management in their country in the second phase as a test for the online course. This second training is meant for SME staff to become energy management specialists. By an e-learning trajectory and a contact seminar the participants will be able to share their experiences, so that all the experiences can be discussed in a transnational project meeting to optimise the e-learning modules. In this respect, Energy Management System Training of SMEs personnel should be considered as a key target. For the process of dissemination, e-learning modules will be developed and will help the program to reach a wider audience. In the third phase at least 500 people will be trained during the project time with the global e-learning module for energy management specialists.The expected results will be realized is 2 dimensions : national and transnational.A national energy management structure will be available to implement in the facilities. (ISO 50001) and a certified expertise will establish sustainable energy management in the SMEs. A transnational digital platform for adults all over Europe who wish to specialize in energy management and energy efficiency, will be available. An inventarisation of exchanges of best practices in all units of the organisations will reduce energy consumption and production costs and will help to reduce emissions. This project will offer an effective way to mitigate global warming.
