Priority 2

To achieve an inclusive labour market and a strengthened skilled 02 workforce, we need to:

  • Trigger a reconsideration of vocational training and manual trades in the EU society for a renewed image of construction as a leading force in the green transition.
  • Identify the skills needed for a more sustainable construction sector at national and local level in all Member states.
  • Reform national and local construction training programmes and streamline vocational education and training across Europe.
