Professional Development of VET learners and industrial workers for the new industrial revolution 4.0
Date du début: 1 nov. 2015, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The purpose of PROVET 4.0 project is to respond to a strong need for Europe and specifically for the partnership: the need of qualified workers to face the challenges of the industry 4.0, though a) identifying the current and future capabilities requirements of Key Enabling Technologies for Advanced manufacturing in electric and metal mechanic industries in Italy, France and Spain and b) developing an innovative joint training programme and online free course which will contribute to reduce the mismatches and shortages between VET providers and electric and metal mechanic industries demands in the need of key skills and capabilities for Advanced manufacturing. The previous analysis shows 2 conclusions: 1-In recent years we are witnessing a huge resurgence of interest in manufacturing in Western economies: US National Plan for Advanced Manufacturing, UK Strategy, the continued adherence to the "reshoring" in many EU countries…. The reason for this interest is the finding of the major role that manufacturing industries have on innovation, productivity of the economy and sustaining the level of social development, weights much higher than other field of activity. The important relative specialization of the economy of the partner regions in the industry is reflected in its strength as a guarantee of employment and competitiveness even in the current crisis, becoming thus a key factor of development. Taking into account this important relative specialization in industry, partner regions have developed their own Smart Specialization Strategies (RIS3) and the three of them share two European priorities of RESEARCH and DEVELOPMENT: Advanced Manufacturing Systems and Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) (Smart Specialisation Platform (S³P) 2-This new EU industrial revolution is marked by the advancement of technologies applicable to the industry, which demands high R&D intensity, rapid innovation cycles and more skilled jobs. The electric and metal mechanic EU industries need qualified people with a range of skills and competencies related to Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) for Advanced manufacturing to respond to demands of the new century organizations and maintain and develop levels of competitiveness. Unfortunately the overall R&D spending in partner regions is still very far from the European average of 2.0% and the Europe 2020 goal of 1.53%. To meet the challenge of this new industrialization 4.0 is necessary to invest in skills, increase flexibility of VET training programs, develop links between VET and the labor market and promote their presence in the company. PROVET 4.0 aims to contribute to a suitable, innovative and job-oriented vocational training responsive to the needs of this new EU industrial revolution, developing and validating an innovative curriculum and training material transnationally which allows qualify VET learners and workers of industry factories for the new industrial revolution 4.0. This purpose is stated in the following objectives: -identify the current and future capabilities requirements of KETs for Advanced manufacturing in electric and metal mechanic industries in Italy, France and Spain -improve the knowledge and comprehension of KETs both at VET level and industrial level by organizing 3 multiplier event with stakeholders in each country -develop an innovative online joint curriculum and training modular programme to acquire skills and competences for KETs for Advanced manufacturing -qualify 90 industrial workers and VET learners through the online free course PROVET 4.0. Impact: 1- Vet learners will benefit from being able to be prepared with updated professional profiles required by electric and metal mechanic industries, ensuring the realization of the full potential of new technologies. 2-Industrial employees will benefit from a training programme that matches their needs, and contribute to their employability and thus, their mobility. 3- VET providers and other adult education services will have highly innovative and targeted curricula and be able to anticipate to the changes in the required competences. They will have more clear and structured identification of actual industrial problematic, broader vision for development and improvement of educational curricula. 4- Industrial companies will benefit by developing their capacity to adapt and innovate, achieving higher added value products and providing a leading role in the development of vocational training.
