These include:
- Master Installer of Ventilated Facade and Transparent Structures. Developer: BarkS, a manufacturer of ventilated facades and transparent structures.
- Window-Door System Assembler. Developer: Ministry of Infrastructure.
In the window market, there is a situation where vocational schools systematically do not train installers of transparent structures and facades. Only individual programs from brands exist. The industry is interested in enabling vocational schools in Ukraine to offer education for installers. To achieve this, it is necessary to develop professional standards, which are currently lacking in Ukraine. These will form the foundation for creating educational standards and relevant training programs.
As noted by BarkS founder and director Valeriy Kotlyar, preparing new personnel, rather than competing for the remaining specialists in the market, is the path to overall market development.
Currently, anyone interested can join the working groups for the development of standards. For coordination, please contact the Association Ukrainian Association of Windows, Doors and Facade.
For reference:
A professional standard is an approved set of competency requirements for workers, which serves as the basis for forming professional qualifications.
An educational standard defines the scope of knowledge, skills, and abilities a person must possess in accordance with the professional standard.
