The Agency for Qualifications participated in two events in September 2026 as part of the BuildSkills Academy (BSA) project, dedicated to the impact of green and digital transitions on construction and the development of skills needed for the future of this sector. Participation in the international conference in Berlin and the panel discussion in Belgrade was an opportunity to exchange experiences on connecting education, qualifications, and the needs of the economy.
On September 17 and 18, a BuildSkills Academy masterclass titled “Change Drivers in Construction and Training” was held in Berlin. The two-day program gathered representatives from educational institutions, training organizers, the economy, and research organizations from various European countries. The focus was on sustainable materials and practices in construction, the reuse of materials and components, digital material passports, and tracking their life cycle, as well as the changes these processes bring to vocational education and training. Through workshops and thematic working groups, discussions were held on how to translate new technologies and sustainable construction practices into specific skill requirements, learning outcomes, and qualifications. Special attention was given to the collaboration between the economy and education, competencies for sustainable development, and opportunities for European cooperation and knowledge exchange.
These topics were also at the center of the panel discussion “Keeping Up with the Future of Construction,” held on September 25 in Belgrade as part of the same project. The event brought together representatives from education, the economy, and relevant institutions to discuss green skills, circular economy, waste management, and responses to changes in the labor market.
The Agency presented itself in the panel discussion “Digital and Green Transition – EU Towards Our Region,” where the development and recognition of future skills, the accreditation process, methodology, and results of the BSA project were discussed.
For the Agency for Qualifications, the topics of both events are significant for the development and modernization of qualification standards, clear definition of learning outcomes, and ensuring the quality of non-formal adult education. Exchange with European and domestic partners contributes to understanding how new economic needs can be translated into relevant qualifications and quality training programs.
