Job profiles: Working in the cement industry – The skills project
The decarbonisation of cement production will require completely new qualification requirements and job profiles in the future. These must be taken into account in the training and further education of employees in the future. In a new study commissioned by the European Federation of Building and Woodworkers (EFBWW) and CEMBUREAU, VDZ (the Association of German Cement Manufacturers) is analysing the extent to which the use of new technologies and production processes for the green transformation (including CCUS, hydrogen, new cements) will affect employment requirements in the cement industry. The project is funded by the European Commission. The study, will first outline the requirements of the EU Green Deal and describe the industry’s CO2 reduction strategies. Based on expert workshops and interviews, case studies will be developed for six EU Member States (Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Poland, Spain) to show the status quo of qualification and training structures as well as future training needs. The study provides recommendations for action for social partners and policy makers.
