Training Plan for the UP-STAIRS Implementation Champion

This task will develop a suite of training tools and resources that will be freely available for download within the training platform (WP4). Content will be developed by TYN, ECO, SEC and ESEB in the form of Learning Units (LUs) and will include an indicative syllabus, course resources required and level of accreditation to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). The training program will involve the public authorities and their staff, and will be intended to involve energy consultants and experts (both from the public and private sectors) in the region in promoting collective approaches. The initial training of the UP-STAIRS Implementation Champion will be carried out prior to the OSS setup, and then again once the OSS service is running, as part of an overall iterative strategy to engage all the local/regional energy community.
