At EU level, DIAGNOSIS takes into account Construction 2020 Strategy for the sustainable competitiveness of the construction sector and its enterprises (2012), in particular the related Action Plan aiming at the “improvement of specialised training and making the sector moreattractive, in particular for blue-collar workers, technical colleges and universities. [...] It is necessary to better anticipate future skills and qualification needs, to attract a sufficient number of students to relevant construction professions and to create the conditions for a better working environment and career management, for a greater mobility of construction workers and for wider provision of cross-border services.”Syllabus created in the project is an academic document that communicates course information and defines expectations and responsibilities. It is a guide on what will be expected of participants in the course and, at the same time, it can tell to participants nearly everything they need to know about how the course will be run and what will be expected of them. The syllabus ensures a fair and impartial understanding between the university and students such that there is minimal confusion on policies relating to the course, setting clear expectations of material to be learned and effort on student's behalf to be put into the course.
