ELCA is a partner of the EU ECOSLIGHT project co-financed by the ERASMUS+ Programme.
The creation of an Environmentally Conscious Smart Lighting (ECOSLIGHT) Designers training program is aimed at enhancing employability and improve the career prospects of lighting-related professionals.
ECOSLIGHT identified the competencies required as well as particular job role profiles related to them and created modular VET curricula (EQF 5) based on the learning outcomes approach. Engaged professionals will be upskilled participating in a MOOC and to specialized professional development activities, including work-based learning and collaborating through communities of interest.

The project adopts EQF, ECVET and EQAVET in order to improve the recognition of the identified qualification, both in EU and national levels. ECOSLIGHT builds upon well-known and widely accepted EU frameworks, such as the e-CF, DigComp, EntreComp, and the framework for the 21st-century skills. Overall, the project is expected to present a serious impact in raising the productivity and results of professionals working in the construction sector, and especially in the areas of exploitation of contemporary technologies, energy-saving, and human well-being.
ECOSLIGHT aims at upskilling and enhancing the employability of professionals and HEI students linked to lighting-related issues in the construction sector at an EQF 5 level, in order to respond to the market needs for Environmentally Conscious Smart Lighting Designers.
The following role profiles will be addressed:
a) The Light Pollution Specialist,
b) The Human-Centric Lighting Specialist,
c) The Road Lighting Safety and Security Specialist.
