HETEL has taken an important step forward in the GeTinVET project with the kick-off meeting held in Cologne, Germany. This project aims to define the transversal skills needed by workers in the construction and building maintenance sector, with the goal of fostering collaboration and improving sustainability in the field. The technical complexity of modern buildings requires specific skills that enable different trades to work more efficiently and in a more coordinated manner.
GeTinVET involves the participation of several international partners, including:
- ITIS Alessandro Volta (Italy)
- Vytautas Magnus University (Lithuania)
- Kouvola Vocational Institute Ltd., Eduko (Finland)
- ROC Rijn IJssel (Netherlands)
- Adolf Kolping Vocational School (Germany)
- Energy Competence Center of the Rhein-Erft District (EkoZet) (Germany)
In addition, alongside HETEL, the Otxarkoaga Vocational Training Center also plays a key role.
The initiative will conclude in June 2025 with a course at the Arnhem Summer School in the Netherlands, where the project results will be presented and the best practices developed will be shared.
