The Green Roofs Training project, aims to develop an innovative training course, methodology and a new, multidisciplinary occupational profile, specialized in green roofs. The project will foster the employability, socio-educational and professional development of young graduates in construction engineering, landscape architecture, urban planning and related studies through the acquisition of skills needed for urban regeneration.

The project will develop a training program in the strategic area of urban regeneration. At the same time, it will support young graduates to have international experiences at the beginning of their career. The course will train a new, multidisciplinary professional profile, specialized in rooftop farming and gardening, what we call a Green Roof Technician.

• Exchange knowledge and best practices on urban regeneration through green roofs;
• Develop an innovative training course on green roofs gathering forward-looking skills in a strategic field for smart economic and social development;
• Provide work-based learning opportunities for young graduates in construction engineering, and similar fields;
• Foster employability, socio-educational and personal development for young graduates in construction engineering (and other similar professional profiles) through the acquisition of new specific skills in order to find alternatives to a saturated market.

• Green Roofs Training Course and Platform Development (A Multidisciplinary and modular Green Roof Training Course on Green Roofs, E-learning platform hosting a job-placement section to facilitate the search of internships on Green Roofs).
• Green Roofs Trainers’ Handbook (Learning Snacks for Green Roofs Technician Trainers for effective implementation of the training methodology).
• Guidelines for Green Roofs Training (Guidelines for Green Roofs Training to facilitate the adoption of the course in Higher Education and promote the further development of the training).

The E-learning platform consists of two main sections or categories:

1. The GREEN ROOFS Technician Training Program, which includes the training courses.
2. Work and Internship Opportunities, which is a job placement section aimed at offering work-based learning opportunities to the students.

If you want to review these sections and the training materials or internship and job offers within them, you first need to register and log in to the platform.
