Closing RenovUp

The Erasmus+ RenovUp project ended last September, an opportunity for CCCA-BTP to look back at its objectives and achievements, as well as the reasons of its creation.

The project pilot CCCA-BTP organised, on June 15th, 2023 at BTP CFA Loire-Atlantique (Saint-Herblain) the closing seminar of the European project RenovUp along with the four partner organisations. This event was the opportunity to present the outcomes of the project, which aimed to support the professionalisation of site managers and team leaders on renovation sites.

In light of the environmental, climate and energy challenges the Members States of the European Union have to face, buildings renovation is of major importance. Team and site management, changes in regulations, safety standards, emergence of new materials and construction methods, they all call for the ongoing professionalisation of site managers and team leaders exercising on renovation sites. As Jacques-Olivier Hénon, Director of Training Policies and Pedagogical Innovation at CCCA-BTP, underlined “the RenovUp project was designed and launched 3 years ago in order to anticipate this evolution. Five European VET stakeholders in construction trades joined forces, co-financed by Erasmus+ : CCCA-BTP in France, FORMEDIL in Italy, FLC Asturias for Spain, Lukasiewicz ITE for Poland and PEDMEDE for Greece”.

El proyecto RENOVUP profesionaliza a los mandos intermedios en la dirección específica de las obras de rehabilitación en Europa

La rehabilitación de edificios suele ser un tipo de obra muy específico. No sólo están cambiando las expectativas de los clientes, sino también las tecnologías de construcción disponibles y las de apoyo al proceso de control. Y todo esto repercute en las funciones que desempeñan sus mandos intermedios y en las competencias que las empresas especializadas en rehabilitación exigen a los encargados de obra y a los jefes de equipos (capataces).

Para abordar estos retos el proyecto RenovUp crea los dispositivos de profesionalización
necesarios para desarrollar las competencias de los mandos intermedios de las obras de rehabilitación de
edificios cumpliendo con la normativa europea y basándose en las situaciones reales de trabajo de los encargados y los jefes de equipo de este tipo de obras. RenovUP, que se inició en octubre de
2020, y que finalizará en agosto 2023, ha recibido una subvención en el marco del programa Erasmus+ de la Comisión Europea de cerca de 415.000 €.
El proyecto reúne a cinco socios europeos, de los cuales tres son entidades paritarias del sector: en Francia, la institución sectorial paritaria responsable de la formación y coordinadora del proyecto, el CCCA-BTP; en Italia, su homólogo FORMEDIL; y en España, la Fundación Laboral de la Construcción del Principado de
Asturias. El resto del equipo lo compone Polonia, a través de la red Siec Badawcza LUKASIEWICZ ITeE (un organismo de investigación tecnológica y pedagógica) y Grecia, que está
representada por PEDMEDE (asociación de constructores).
