The train-the-train­er pro­gramme pre­pares teach­ers and advi­sors in the con­struc­tion indus­try for dig­i­tal skills and tech­nolo­gies. They acquire prac­ti­cal knowl­edge to sup­port SMEs in imple­ment­ing dig­i­tal solu­tions and col­lab­o­ra­tions. The Train the Train­er pro­gram, which will be imple­ment­ed on an ongo­ing basis by 24 col­leges and uni­ver­si­ties from 13 coun­tries, will sig­nif­i­cant­ly strength­en the capac­i­ties of train­ing providers and SME spon­sors. In Ger­many and Hun­gary, addi­tion­al mea­sures to devel­op SME sup­port capac­i­ties were suc­cess­ful­ly devel­oped and imple­ment­ed, lead­ing to the fol­low­ing addi­tion­al results:

• Online SME con­sult­ing in the Dig­i­ti­za­tion in the con­struc­tion indus­try
• Dig­i­tal­i­sa­tion Offi­cer for SMEs
• Craft Lab of the Schw­erin Cham­ber of Crafts
• Improve­ments in coop­er­a­tion between archi­tects and con­struc­tion com­pa­nies

The activ­i­ties to strength­en pro­mo­tion­al and advi­so­ry activ­i­ties in Ger­many and Hun­gary are also report­ed in Ger­man and Hun­gar­i­an.
