The chemical sector (including pharmaceuticals and rubber and plastics) is the second-largest sector in Europe, employing 3.4 million people directly. It contributes 11.9 % of EU27 manufacturing employment. The sector generated an even greater number of indirect jobs – up to three times higher than through direct employment. More importantly, salaries are 45 % higher and productivity is 67 % higher than the average in the EU manufacturing sector. These figures clearly indicate that the chemical sector offers many well-paid jobs, but it also needs highly trained and skilled workers to remain competitive globally.

BIM can be used to reduce energy consumption and the impact of a building on the environment and provides specific workflows and modelling tips that can make a building green. Used in land, water, energy and material sustainability, it has become the 21st century’s biggest game-changer due to its versatility and finesse. By using BIM modelling, every stage of the construction process is transparent. It provides deep insights on material technology and efficient designing on- and offsite, saving time, money and resources and is thus better for the environment. We can also use the BIM model to optimise and monitor performance before and after occupancy. This is an opportunity to showcase the importance of vocational skills in nation-building and the development of capacity.

The idea is to pool the existing experiences in producing micro-credentials building on developments in EU, partner countries and beyond. We want to explore how we can improve the portability and recognition of micro-credentials using existing experiences.
