PraTLA - Practical Training in Local Authorities

SP 11 - PraTLA
Practical Training in Local Authorities


PraTLA’s main objective is to improve local energy efficiency policy through practical trainings in local authorities. PraTLA has identified two target groups for the sub-project:

1) local authority staff that needs assistance and lacks know-how in
    the set up and the implementation of local energy efficiency
    policy and
2) students and trainers as local energy experts that lack
    understanding of administrational structures and decision-making
    when energy efficiency solutions for local authorities are being
    prepared.

PraTLA will identify specific needs to improve energy efficiency in cities, to find suitable students or trainers as local energy experts and to organise targeted practical trainings within local authorities that provide a benefit for both target groups. These practical trainings will be thoroughly prepared in advance by matching competencies of local energy experts (students/trainers) with specific needs of local energy policies. The entire process is embedded in a constant interregional exchange of experience on didactic approaches in educational and training institutes, on the specific needs of local authorities in energy efficiency matters and the practical implementation and impact of the trainings in five European regions with a different regional policy background.
