About the project

Why EMIC-GEM.

Modular and offsite construction is changing the construction industry, but education is lagging behind. EMIC-GEM developed a competence model with seven key profiles (personas) and learning modules for vocational and short-cycle education.

The results are published at emic-gem.eu.
