EDDIE Tools towards Blueprint Strategy for the Digitalisation of the Energy value chain (BSDE)

New methodology to identify current and future skill gaps

This will be done for the digitalisation of the Energy sector by developing a common approach for assessing the current situation and anticipating future needs as well as monitoring progress and evolution of the demand and supply of skills

Map the stakeholders

The activity will be developed to identify, describe and indicate priorities for the improvement or the establishment of new qualifications (job profiles and skills needed) and strategic network building with a strong industry-driven approach

Evaluate regional and national Education policies

This will also include initiatives to understand how training is currently being provided at the different EQF levels of the Energy sector in order to identify best practices to escalate to other European regions

Underpin and illustrate the Blueprint Strategy

Blueprint Strategy for the Digitalisation of the Energy value chain (BSDE) to tackle the skills shortages and mismatches identified, fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships (e.g. between industry, social partners, education and training, public authorities, smart cities and global communities)

Perform a pilot for demonstration

Perform a pilot to demonstrate the scalability, replicability and sustainability of the action plan for the progressive roll-out of the BSDE after the project has finished, based on sustained partnerships and continuous updating of the strategy to foster the long-term and large-scale replication and continuous updating of the training programs.

Develop a communication and dissemination strategy

All the actions perform among the identified target groups at regional, national and EU level and include details on how the roll-out will be implemented at national and/or regional levels with relevant governmental and sectorial authorities
