ARISE is a European-funded project that aims to support the upskilling of design and construction professionals on the topics of energy-efficient buildings and Building Information Modelling (BIM) processes
Assisting the construction industry to ARISE and move towards an energy-efficient built environment, the consortium partners foresaw a stimulating approach to increase demand for sustainable energy and digital skills in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector.
ARISE’s five enabling pillars:
- Alignment of skills with a harmonised EU Learning Framework
- Access to online training materials and tools 24/7.
- Assignment of the digital Market providing transferable recognitions, to enable a wide recognition across the EU and beyond.
- “A-Credit-action” is based on a Continuous Professional Development type method and a novel badge reward system linked to blockchain validation and verification system.
- Assistance in the initialisation of legislative changes and supportive procurement measures, to further stimulate market demand
ARISE’s global goal is to revolutionize the learning process by changing both the delivery and recognition of sustainable energy skills in the construction sector. The new system of training and recognition of skills are available across the EU, thus increasing the spread of skilled workforce in the building market.
The mission is to support the twin transition of the construction sector and to contribute thereby to the European Recovery and Resilience Plans 2021 -2027, by providing the design and construction professionals with digital and sustainable energy skills of the future, along with demand-side guidelines for marketable appreciation of skills and exploitation of benefits thereof.
By providing clear learning interactions, transparency of upskilling transactions, and recognition of qualifications achieved, ARISE inspires demand for sustainable energy skills.
ARISE also transforms the learning process by validating skills development and learning exchange with a digital system based on skills recognition rather than accreditation. The training system developed by the project reward learners as they achieve competence at a certain level with the badges linked to blockchain for skills exchange the innovative recognition of skills and learning of the construction sector embracing today’s digital transformation benefits.
