The HABITABLE project aims to respond to the challenges and needs of the Habitat sector in terms of skills shortage and mismatches derived from the digital and green transition, improving the responsiveness of the VET systems to these changes while promoting inclusion and equity in education. 

To this aim the project will co-create a Platform of Centres of Vocational Excellence for Sustainable Habitat, building a ‘skills ecosystem’ together with a wide range of other local and regional partners, working also with centres of professional excellence in other countries through networks of international collaboration.

The project HABITABLE is promoted by an international collaborative network of CoVEs , involving a wide range of local and regional PARTNERS from Spain, Portugal, Austria and Greece, working also in cooperation with centres of vocational excellence of Georgia and Moldova, both members of the international Network for Excellence (ENE) promoted by the European Training Foundation (ETF). 

Together, they will co-design and co-create during the project innovative solutions to address four functional areas, strategic for the participant CoVEs:
