🌟 Exciting News from Training Vision Ireland! 🌟   Since last October, we've been part of an innovative 2-year Erasmus+ project in vocational education and training (KA220-VET), titled "Digital Twin for VET Schools."   Our mission? To enhance VET curricula to meet the competencies required by Industry 4.0. By leveraging Digital Twin technology, we aim to bridge the gap in facilities and equipment, enabling schools to offer practical, hands-on learning experiences. This initiative also focuses on boosting the digital skills of VET teachers to support these cutting-edge activities.   We’re thrilled to announce that the Competence Framework is now available on the project’s website! 📝   Here’s a quick overview: - The framework outlines 11 key profiles needed by Industry 4.0 across partner countries (Italy, Spain, Ireland, Greece, Poland). - It targets students at the 4th and 5th EQF levels, detailing profiles in terms of knowledge, skills, and competences. - The document also includes the methodology used by the DiTwin partnership, allowing organisations to replicate and adapt it to their specific needs.   Check it out and join us in shaping the future of vocational education! https://lnkd.in/eqeVRwQY #DigitalTwin #ErasmusPlusProject

You are invited to attend a webinar 🎥 : Innovation and Entrepreneurial Thinking: Challenge and Opportunity   The challenge of engaging students in the learning process has been a topic of educators around the globe. The creation of an exercise that engages the student demonstrates that Problem Based Learning outcomes can be an effective approach to delivering meaningful engineering education content. This presentation will focus on the utilization of Problem Based Learning as a vehicle that fosters student- based learning as a key ingredient to engage the learner. Students learn differently!

This webinar promises to provoke reflection around some key questions: Can innovation be taught? Are we teaching engineering professionals to think differently? How does one develop an entrepreneurial mindset? Definitely a webinar not to miss!!

This week - again - it is all about #learning and #enabling for the #future. We hosted the second day of the conference of LCAMP: Learner Centric Advanced Manufacturing Platform for CoVEs. The LCAMP project aims to empower Vocational Excellence to become more resilient and better equipped to train, upskill, and reskill young and adult students for successfully facing the digital and green transitions. So a perfect #match to #BoschRexroth Academy #SmartFactoryCampus, our recently awarded approach for #enabling for the #future. Major Take Aways: ◘ vocational schools in Europe see the urgent need to change #todays rigid curriculas & skill based learning approaches to individual & #target-oriented learning suited for the #future ◘ collaboration is #key for good #education. Only together innovative schools, universities and leading industrial learning provider like us can develop real problem oriented trainings, wich not only focuses on technology, but on enabling for the job to be done #jtbd ◘ our #open and #modular #LearningFactory fits to todays and future needs of the market. Together with our training content we can help to realize #productive #flexible #resilient and #sustainable factories. Thanks for the possibility to be this years #keynote and my wonderful colleagues who really drive #didactics for industrial Future. Thorsten Körner Jürgen Walther Thorsten KLEIN

📢 Exciting News! Our Competence Framework is now available on our website! 🌟 Click the link below to access it. 📝 Here's a brief overview of what the Competence Framework entails: The framework outlines 11 profiles needed by Industry 4.0 in partner countries (Italy, Spain, Ireland, Greece, Poland), targeting students who have completed the 4th and 5th EQF levels of education. These profiles are described in terms of knowledge, skills, and competences using a common language, aligning with the learning outcomes approach recognized across Europe. Aligned with the standard VET curricula of partner countries, the Competence Framework aims to seamlessly integrate into VET school practices. It supports schools and teachers in up-skilling VET students with the competences demanded by Industry 4.0, facilitating their transition from school to work and addressing youth unemployment and workforce shortages in the Industry 4.0 sector. Recognized by the European Union as crucial technologies for tomorrow's economy, Industry 4.0 technologies lack appropriate and multidisciplinary curricula providing the necessary digital skills. The Competence Framework addresses this gap, promoting innovation and digital transformation. In addition to detailed profiles, the document includes a description of the methodology implemented by the DiTwin partnership, enabling organizations and countries to replicate the process and adapt the Competence Framework to their contexts and needs. Explore the Competence Framework now to empower VET students with the skills for the future! 🚀 #digitaltwin #erasmusplusproject https://lnkd.in/eqeVRwQY

🛠️🏭  Scientific paper emphasizes Ingenjör4.0 upskilling program's remarkable success   The manufacturing industry is evolving rapidly, demanding a highly skilled workforce. A recent scientific paper highlights the success of Sweden's Ingenjör4.0 upskilling program.
