The study “Employment effects and training and upgrading needs in the field of energy-saving building refurbishment” made an analysis of employment structures and trends and the relevant needs for vocational training and qualification in the field of energy-saving building refurbishment. A dual-perspective study design was used for this purpose: On the one hand it examines, from the point of view of companies operating in this field, the current and future needs that exist for qualified personnel and the requirements that such personnel will have to meet. On the other hand it analyses, from the point of view of training providers, the extent to which existing vocational training and further education structures can support the provision of qualifications for job-related activities in the field of energy-saving building refurbishment. By comparing supply and demand, a list was then prepared of action recommendations designed to make a contribution to ensuring the qualitative and quantitative supply of new sector-specific qualified personnel.
