The EnerTransEdu project is deeply rooted in the Erasmus+ horizontal priority of Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change. At its core, the project aims to strengthen the role of vocational education and training (VET) in supporting Europe’s transition toward a climate-neutral economy by promoting green skills, clean energy literacy, and sustainable practices in the renewable energy sector.
About
The project aims to empower VET systems in Malta and Turkey. It directly supports Erasmus+ priorities of Environment and Fight Against Climate Change and Adapting VET to Labour Market Needs, and addresses the topics of Green Skills, Climate Change, and Energy and Resources.
Objectives
Promote knowledge of sustainable practices in the renewable energy sector.
The project will produce a joint report exploring current trends and practices in Malta and Turkey across solar, wind, biogas, and hydropower energy. This report will act as a knowledge base for both VET learners and professionals to understand the environmental, technical, and economic dimensions of clean energy development.
Design a market-oriented, modular VET curriculum tailored to the energy transition.
Leveraging Malta's fast-growing energy innovation ecosystem and Turkey’s academic research capacity, the consortium will co-develop training modules that address emerging labour market needs—such as energy system integration, smart grid solutions, and carbon neutrality planning.
Upskill VET educators, trainers, and sector professionals.
Through a series of hands-on workshops, webinars, and exchanges, the project will strengthen the pedagogical and technical competencies of educators in both countries, equipping them to deliver future-proof training aligned with the demands of the green energy labour market.
Build cross-country collaboration and transfer of good practices.
Malta, as a Mediterranean island state with ambitious carbon neutrality targets, and Türkiye, with its dynamic academic and industrial base, will collaborate to share context-specific expertise. This synergy will support the development of innovative, locally adapted VET solutions with European relevance.
Raise awareness of the societal value of renewable energy and the role of VET.
An online platform, combined with a multi-channel dissemination strategy, will engage young learners, the general public, and energy stakeholders across both countries. The project will promote the role of vocational training in climate action and sustainability.
Provide policy-relevant insights for supporting green VET reforms.
Using case studies and impact assessments, the project will demonstrate how targeted vocational training can contribute to carbon footprint reduction in the energy sector. These results will be shared with decision-makers to support national and EU-level policy development.
