For 2014, the
GreenPoint team wished you an environmental friendly year!
In 2013, our
consortium worked on the design of a qualification standard answering the training needs identified in the metal and
automotive sectors in order to create the Green Point figure, a worker able to
manage environmental issues in the SMEs. On the basis of this qualification standard , we developed the
GreenPoint course, made of an online training course and a toolkit, providing
new environmental skills to the workers. The course is now online, and is going tested in order to
produce its final version and implement it in entreprise. Also, we invite all
interested workers, trainers and stakeholders to contact the different project partners to get information
on this training programme and to register as a pilot trainee. As usual,
we also invite you to share with us your opinion and comments on the
project by visiting our website:www.greenpointonline.eu,
or writing us to greenpoint@femeval.es.
Project advancements and
activities
GreenPoint course available online for the launch of

After several months of intensive work, partners developed the contents

on our project website. This course is made of the most relevant elements that
metal and automotion workers should know in order to manage properly
environmental issues at work. Read more about this

Pilot training
course in the UK
In
the UK the GreenPoint course has already been trialled by organisations in the
automotive and metals sectors. CAV Aerospace is a manufacturer of components for
the aerospace industry and carries out precision engineering activities. Chris
Carr the Quality Assurance Representative at CAV Aerospace has placed 3 site
operatives on the GreenPoint course and says, ‘Our
organisation works to the ISO 14001 standard for environmental management and
it’s a constant challenge for us to continually improve our environmental
systems. The GreenPoint course has given us the opportunity to expand our
environmental training programme and communicate to our staff how their choices
impact on the company’s environmental performance’. Read

Pilot
training course in th Germany
At
the end of November, the first piloting of the GreenPoint Course on
Environmental Awareness in the Metal Sector in Germany took place in Germany. 10
trainees and two trainers of the Metal training Center of bfw Wetzlar completed
the course in a day session. The feedback was positive- most of them stated that
they learned quite a lot about how to act and work in a more
environmental-friendly way. Read more about this news here.
