There are two new professionals under discussion, which respective training frameworks are the main results of the project: the Water Efficiency Technician (WET profile) and the Water efficiency Expert (WEE), both considering the water and energy nexus.
The WATTer Skills Strategic Partnership - with the coordination of ADENE and the collaboration of the partners FLC - Fundacíon Laboral de La Construccíon, FORMEDIL - Ente Nazionale per la Formazione and L'addestramento professionale Nell'edilizia and CRES - Center for Renewable Energy Sources and Saving, takes particular importance under the national and European context, given the growing need to adopting new water efficiency solutions in buildings and intending to cover the lack of specialized professionals to implement these solutions in the market.
