Project 4 - Skills development - Acquiring the right technical skills

Closed

The FormaWood project aims to support companies and professionals in the construction timber sector, which is commonly considered as an important source of employment and solutions to key economic and ecological issues. In this context, the objective of the project operators is to develop tools and create the conditions that will enable professionals to become skilled in the techniques used to implement wood materials in construction. The project was born from an observation from companies in the sector from both Belgium and France, that there is a distinct lack of training possibilities, and when it does exist, that it is poorly adapted to the realities of the profession. Under these conditions, the question arises about proper performance of the wooden structures over time, as well as the development and sustainability of the timber construction sector. In this regard, an action plan has been drawn up to propose a comprehensive training programme based on an inventory of recurrent failings in the timber construction sector, to compensate for the mismatch between the supply and demand of training and, finally, to shore up businesses and professionals in the wood construction sector.
