As Europe strives to meet its ambitious sustainable energy transition goals, the demand for a highly skilled workforce in the heating sector is growing. Skills4DHC is committed to bridging this gap by training existing professionals and attracting new workers to the DHC sector, ensuring that Europe\u2019s heating systems are ready for the future.<\/p>\n<p>How We Do It<\/p>\n<p>Skills4DHC develops a comprehensive set of 13 specialized training programs and mentoring schemes, clustered in 5 programmes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transnational DHC academy training program<\/li>\n<li>White collar professionals and authorities DHC training programme<\/li>\n<li>Accademia DHC training programme<\/li>\n<li>Blue Collar DHC training programme<\/li>\n<li>Trainee recruitment programme<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our programs are designed for a wide range of target groups, including staff from DHC enterprises, civil servants in local and national authorities, university students, and skilled workers involved in the construction and maintenance of DHC systems. These programs will be piloted in six European countries\u2014Austria, Estonia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and the Netherlands\u2014and are set to expand across Europe through a dedicated replication and transnational training initiative. By combining lectures, hands-on training, and technical site visits, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the DHC value chain, enabling them to identify, evaluate, and implement clean energy solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Expected outcome<\/p>\n<p>Skills4DHC will build a skilled workforce to drive Europe\u2019s heat transition. By developing and testing tailored training programs, we will equip professionals across the DHC sector with the expertise to design, operate, and maintain sustainable, energy-efficient, and renewable heating and cooling systems. This initiative will enable faster modernization and fuel switching of DHC systems, driving the heat transition across Europe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Partners<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The project consortium is composed of 9 partners:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Austria<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AEE \u2013 Institut f\u00fcr Nachhaltige Technologien: https:\/\/www.aee-intec.at<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Belgium<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Euroheat &amp; Power: https:\/\/www.euroheat.org<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Denmark<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PLANENERGI FOND: https:\/\/www.planenergi.dk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Estonia<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>MT\u00dc Enerhack Foundation: https:\/\/www.enerhack.org<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WIRTSCHAFT UND INFRASTRUKTUR GMBH &amp; CO PLANUNGS KG: https:\/\/www.wi-ig.de<\/li>\n<li>AGFW-PROJEKTGESELLSCHAFT FUR RATIONALISIERUNG, INFORMATION UND STANDARDISIERUNG MBH: https:\/\/www.agfw.de<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Ireland<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Irish District Energy Association CLG: https:\/\/www.idaireland.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Italy<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Politecnico di Milano: https:\/\/www.polimi.it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The Netherlands<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stichting Warmtenetwerk: https:\/\/www.warmtenetwerk.nl<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Project website<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.euroheat.org\/dhc\/eu-projects\/skills4-dhc\"><strong>https:\/\/www.euroheat.org\/dhc\/eu-projects\/skills4-dhc<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Funding:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LIFE Programme &#8211; GRANT AGREEMENT Project 101167015 &#8211; LIFE23-CET-Skills4DHC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Skills4DHC project addresses two key challenges in the district heating and cooling (DHC) sector: the urgent need for skilled professionals and the recruitment of new talent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5732,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","project-cat":[50,51],"department":[60,29],"class_list":["post-5718","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-cat-international-activities","project-cat-strategy-and-planning","department-international-activities","department-scep-skep"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planenergi.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/5718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planenergi.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planenergi.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planenergi.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5718"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/planenergi.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/5718\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5728,"href":"https:\/\/planenergi.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/5718\/revisions\/5728"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planenergi.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planenergi.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project-cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planenergi.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-cat?post=5718"},{"taxonomy":"department","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planenergi.eu\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/department?post=5718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
