The Green Construction Workforce: Micro-credentials for Skills, Jobs and Competiveness

The Green Circle Final Conference will take place on 10–11 November 2026 in Maia, Portugal 📍, bringing together European and national perspectives on the role of green skills and micro-credentials in the transformation of the construction sector.

The conference will explore how micro-credentials can support the upskilling and reskilling of professionals, recognise specific green competencies, and help address the evolving skills needs of the construction industry in the context of the green transition. The programme will feature two complementary perspectives. The European dimension will focus on skills development and recognition in the broader European context, while the national dimension will address the needs of construction companies and the role of training and qualification systems in Portugal.

The event will bring together construction companies, vocational education and training providers, higher education institutions, industry professionals and policymakers to exchange knowledge, share experiences and discuss the future of skills and training in the construction sector.

Participation in the conference is free of charge. Interested participants are invited to register via the following link:https://lnkd.in/dpeDzipu
