Why did we start Pile Up?
• Need for skilled workers (All-round Operators & Maintenance Technicians) on EQF level 4 in Europe
• Need to understand the levels and content of qualifications of foreign workers
• Necessity to upgrade skilled workers towards level 4 by assessing their skills and offering them flexible learning possibilities
What is project Pile Up about?
mobility of workers in the chemical industry in Europe
• a common European competence profile for Maintenance technician & All-round Process Operator
• based on ECVET methodology• assessment and validation of worker’s competences• Pile Up competences to reach a higher qualification
The main aim of Pile Up
To develop and implement units of learning outcomes, (competence framework) based on ECVET* methodology which can be used for:
1. The recognition and validation of competences of foreign workers (company)
2. Piling up (accumulate) the competences of workers to reach a higher level of qualification (education)
* ECVET: European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training

instruments • Stakeholder analysis report of distributed project results
Activities in the Pile Up project
Dissemination:• Website: www.pile-up.eu• Spread out the project results to stakeholders in the chemical industry, VET providers and other networks• Project presentations at conferences• Publications
