Good sustainable practices on energy efficiency in VET
These documents lay the groundwork for integrating the green transition into Vocational Education and Training (VET). They provide a curated repertoire of successful practices VET institutions can adopt to improve energy efficiency, alongside a critical analysis of current training needs to prepare students and professionals for the rapidly evolving renewable energy sector. This dual focus ensures VET is equipped to foster both sustainable consumption habits and the skilled workforce required for the future energy landscape.
Didactic units for energy production and consumption monitoring
These educational units focus on the digitalization of energy management in school environments. They provide VET students with the technical knowledge to introduce renewable energy production, specifically through photovoltaic systems, and master various methods for real-time monitoring of consumption and output. This includes practical guidance on deploying professional monitoring networks and open-source platforms, culminating in a detailed case study on the technical and financial steps needed to replace a traditional gas boiler with a highly efficient heat pump system.
Awareness for sustainable practices and integration of women in vocational training
These documents introduce practical social and educational dynamics aimed at fostering key cultural and behavioral changes within Vocational Education and Training (VET). The materials provide tools to significantly raise sustainability awareness by engaging students in activities that promote critical thinking and the creation of concrete action plans. Furthermore, they outline specific strategies, including workshops and inspiring talks, designed to break down barriers and actively promote the integration and increased participation of women in technical and industrial training courses.
