IN TURKEY?
 Having an educated and well-trained labour force emerges as
a key factor for remaining competitive in the global economy.
Although significant improvements have taken place, Turkey’s
population is characterised by low levels of human capital (as
measured by formal schooling).
 Although development plans drafted in the 1970s and beyond
placed the emphasis on vocational skills, and envisioned a
share of 65% for the vocational and technical component of
the secondary school system, this target has not been
reached yet.
IN TURKEY?
 As of 2009, only one out of three students enrolled in
secondary schools was receiving vocational education.
 By matching pre-market skills with the needs of the labour
market, vocational school education is expected to help the
graduates ease their way into the labour market. Statistics
reveal that this is not happening – a significant majority
continues with higher education.
Energy Efficient and Sustainable FUTURE
Significant New Trends in the RAC Industry as We Seek
to Resolve the Issues of Increasing Energy Demand,
Decreasing Supply and Environmental Impact.

Commissioning, Operation and
Maintenance
Properly Maintained Systems
The RAC industry is a HUGE industry and consumes
more energy than any other sector with the exception of
transportation. When people discuss energy efficiency,
going green, saving money, the answer to all of these
statements is properly sized, properly installed, and
properly maintained RAC equipment.
SKILLS CHANGE
 We certainly need to know more about how jobs are changing
and tasks are developing, what knowledge, skills and
competences people really have in RAC trade apart from their
specific formal qualification and which skill mix they need to
develop.
 We also need to have a clearer idea of how supply and demand
match. This information is crucial to understand if there is a risk
of skill mismatches and overskilling in RAC trade.
Changing Demand for Skills
 Changes in the demand for skills and occupations are widely
thought to be part of the main consequences of greening the
economy. The following broad impacts can be identified:
 Some skills will become obsolete due to structural changes in the
labour market and employment shifts, both within and across
sectors, due to demands for a greener economy.
Changing Demand for Skills
 Demands for some new skills will be created as new ‘greencollar’ occupations emerge to support adaptation to and
mitigation of climate change.
 The skills required for existing jobs will have a stronger green
element as existing occupational profiles change.
Green Collar: Helping to protect ecosystems and biodiversity; reduce energy, materials, and water consumption
through high efficiency strategies; de-carbonize the economy; and minimize or alltogether avoid generation of all
forms of waste and pollution.
GREEN CHALLENGE
 Developing a low-carbon, resource-efficient and competitive
economy will firstly require a general up-skilling of the
(potential) workforce. This will require substantial investment
in efficient education and training.
 The green challenge offers an excellent opportunity to
implement a policy that is indispensable by all means: a good
basic education provides the best foundation for developing
one's skills throughout life.
GREEN CHALLENGE
 In many cases, topping-up available skills with some specific,
green-oriented skills will be sufficient to allow for the
transition to a greener job. Apart from the necessary
adaptation of training courses in the context of active labour
market policies, this calls for adequate life-long learning and
on-the-job training systems.
GREEN CHALLENGE
 This type of learning is the responsibility of workers, employers
and authorities alike, and calls for systems allowing for
financing of training, possibly using some kind of career
training accounts.
 They should guarantee that the necessary up-skilling remains
affordable and practicable. In addition, more emphasis is
needed on training the trainers and enabling trainers and
teachers to teach relevant new “green” techniques.
Training First
 Most developed countries require training, apprenticeship
and continuing education for someone to work in the RAC
industry. The RAC industry in some countries is viewed as a
profession not just a trade.
 To maintain standard of living without paying too much for
power or thermal comfort, we must change the mindset of
building occupants and the people working on them.
Training First
Proper education of technicians, teach energy auditing
and management, emphasize operation and
maintenance, teach students to install and service
equipment to manufacturers specifications.
It all comes down to proper technician training and
assessment!
Demonstrate Achievement
For the student, assessment can provide…
 portfolio information for employment
 connections to industry certifications
Provide Accountability
For the trade and government, assessments can
provide…
 common data for countrywide economic
development plans
 the mechanism for countrywide articulations
 a component for awarding school/training center
incentives
