Between October 2022 and early February 2023, the Province of Noord-Brabant, the central municipality of Breda, the Regional Mobility Centre West-Brabant, Avans+ University of Applied Sciences and the ICT Labour Market Training Fund (hereinafter CA-ICT) worked jointly on this project plan. During this period, regular consultations took place, coordination took place, his documents were written and discussed and it was finally decided that the ‘Digipower 2023 - 2026 ‘Green Deal’ plan was ready for submission to Stimulus within the Just Transition Fund. During the implementation of ‘Digipower 2023 - 2026 ‘Green Deal’, CA-ICT and WijTechniek entered into consultations to discuss a second JTF application with a stronger focus on technology. After consultation of the constituency and the sounding board group, this (second) application for ‘Digipower 2024 - 2026 ‘Green Deal’ was drawn up as a result of joint consultation. The reason for the meeting of the above parties is that all parties involved feel the impact of the energy transition in the West-North Brabant region. The energy transition and region specifically the transition to green chemistry requires a change from a linear and centrally controlled value chain to a circular and decentralised model. Necessary for this are, among other things, innovations in the field of digital (smart) industry. The collaborating parties want to use their knowledge and expertise to make a substantial difference in this area. The ambition is to jointly increase the inflow, flow and sustainable employability of the workforce in the West-North Brabant region, specifically focused on the chemical sector and the demand for digital and technical skills. This agile and resilient workforce can cope with the changes in the nature of work and the growing mismatch between supply and demand in the labour market as a result of the energy transition. To this end, the ‘Digipower 2024-2026 ‘Green Deal’ project is proposed. In line with the objectives of the JTF 2021-2027 programme, ‘Digipower 2024 - 2026’ focuses on developing crucial technical skills that are indispensable for propulsion of the energy transition and innovation within green chemistry. This project recognises the growing demand for specialised skills needed to support these shifts and aims to address the gap in the current and future workforce through six core areas of study. Depending on the background and wishes of the participants, different interpretations are possible on the following themes: ▪ Higher Installation Technique (HIT): focuses on advanced installation techniques that are essential for the integration of renewable energy sources and the development of sustainable infrastructure. ▪ Digital Building/Building Information Modelling (BIM): prepares participants to work with digital building models that are crucial for increasing efficiency and sustainability in all types of buildings. ▪ Software development: develops programming and software development skills that are necessary for the design and implementation of systems to support, among other things, the energy transition. ▪ (cyber)security/digital security: teach participants the importance of and techniques for ensuring the security of digital infrastructure, which is essential in an increasingly connected and digitalised energy and chemistry sector. ▪ Information management & (big) data science: provides skills in data analysis and management, necessary for supporting decision-making processes and optimising processes in the context of the energy transition. ▪ IT management: strengthens knowledge in effectively managing IT systems that support the core activities within the transition to sustainable energy and green chemical production. These fields of study have been carefully selected to have the most direct impact on supporting and accelerating the energy transition and the development of green chemistry, in line with the JTF programme objectives. The project provides an integrated approach where training not only addresses current market needs, but also anticipates future skill requirements within these rapidly evolving areas. The project highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach, combining technical skills with digital competences to address the complex challenges of the energy transition and green chemistry. The project offers help to everyone who lives, works or seeks work in the region by training and retraining them into a competent ‘green’ employee capable of realising the energy transition. The target groups find their way to the CA-ICT by registering with the already existing portal of the first project: Digipower 2023-2026 ‘Green Deal’ or via the portal of the regional mobility centre West Brabant Werkt Door by means of a pre-selection via the social services of the municipalities. Through an intake and/or a career orientation trajectory, the wishes and competencies of the participant are explored. Subsequently, a participant can po
