Renewable Energy for Future Generations
End date: May 2, 2014 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Topic of renewable energy is for various reasons - environmental and economic - of major interest and importance to EU countries. In Slovakia, as well as CZ, the sector of energy is a "green field". Therefore EkoFond has initiated a programme for secondary schools to educate students in a new study programme "technician for energy facilities in buildings" (TEFB) accredited by the SR Ministry of Education, which fills in the gap at the labour market for this type of experts. Its students have access not only to the latest information in the area of power engineering and renewable sources of energy, but also have modernised workshops with innovative technologies at their disposal. The project REFUGE is a part of this big project. A set of new occupations related to renewable energies promotion and production are emerging throughout Europe. REFUGE project identified and analysed these new occupations and produced job profiles/ standards and developed training curricula for counsellors/ advisors and teachers of VET in energy sector. This is missing in SR and CZ. Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family SR has a national task to develop a catalogue of all occupations, at present it started with occupations for wood processing and musical instruments production and plans to develop for all occupations. ŠIOV (our partner P6) is involved in this task and the handbook developed in the framework of the REFUGE project could be used for this catalogue. REFUGE project builds on the results of the European project EARTHCARE from where the innovation is transferred - www.idec.gr/earthcare/home.htm.- handbook for career advisers/counsellors and job profiles in renewable energy, training curricula. Project REFUGE integrates the above two previous products in a complete support package for vocational counsellors, advisors and teachers that can be trained to guide young people in the new occupational field of renewable energy, and completes it with development of new text books on RES.
