Save the Earth: Counsellors and Advisors on Renewable Energy occupations (EARTHCARE)

Renewable energy plants for various reasons are of major interest and importance to EU countries. EARTHCARE project proposes the identification and analysis of future occupations related to the sector in order to produce job profiles/ standards and develop training curricula and support training package for counsellors/ advisors. This has been achieved through close co-operation and exchange of experiences between consultancy /training providers, renewable energy experts and labour market information providers.

  • An exhaustive database of training courses in renewable energy occupations in the 15 EU countries. The database can be found on-line at resourses.cler.fr/trainings and is published in a book as well.
  • An on-line database for job-offer and demand in renewable energy occupations. The database can be found at resourses.cler.fr/jobs and it is available in 5 languages (EN, FR, ES, IT, EL)

Earthcare project integrates the above two previous products in a complete support package for vocational counsellors and advisors that will be trained to guide young people in the new occupational field of renewable energy.

Results of the project are:

  • Exchange of experiences on methodologies and standards to be followed.
  • Development of a set of job profiles/standards, identifying transferable skills as well.
  • Development of training curricula for counsellors/advisors and pilot training of counsellors seminars.
