Short description

The project plans to initiate, grow and sustain a dynamic network of ten Communities of Practice (CoPs) focused on critical areas such as sectoral skills needs, innovative training methods, skills recognition, demand-side mechanisms, national skills roll-out, funding sources and EU synergies. Key objectives of BUSUnited include establishing and supporting these CoPs to foster pan-European collaboration, drive innovation in training methods and facilitate the large-scale deployment of sustainable energy skills. The project aims to engage over 400 stakeholders, including public authorities, training providers, industry representatives, and NGOs, across its activities.
