APERTURE is a new co-funded EU project that targets the construction and real estate sectors, aiming to help bridge the gap between what is being taught by formal education providers, and the skills actually needed in today’s ever-digitalising workplace.
As technology changes quickly, APERTURE connects businesses with education to make sure workers and students learn what is needed. The project focuses on important topics like reducing carbon emissions and using energy more efficiently by promoting sustainable practices and modern technology.
The initiative will support the development of new businesses and fresh ideas while helping universities and industry work together. It aims to create a training programme that follows European rules on building energy use and sustainability, such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the European Green Deal.
APERTURE will be launching a free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) to teach energy efficiency, smart building technology, and PropTech. Participants will gain practical skills through hands-on training with real-world examples and expert guidance. The project also includes a business plan competition, where participants and entrepreneurs can develop ideas, receive mentorship, and connect with industry experts. Winners will be supported by international networking, infrastructure and potential funding.
AcrossLimits is leading the Impact, Dissemination and Communication workpackage of the project which focuses on sharing information about the project to our stakeholders. Since we specialise in vocational education and training, as well as communicating to a wide European audience, our role is to make sure APERTURE’s results reach as many people as possible. We are managing the project’s website, social media, newsletters, events, and reports to increase awareness and impact among key audiences.
APERTURE has upcoming activities coming your way! For this reason, stay updated on how to register and get involved by joining the MOOC, participate in training to apply knowledge in practice and by entering the competition to pitch in business ideas.
