Press Conference: Skills for Smart Manufacturing

6.11.2024

Events Workshops and webinars for industry

The ING 4.0 training programme is an innovative response to the demands of Industry 4.0, which lacks skilled workers for smart manufacturing. It brings together practitioners and technical universities in Slovakia to provide employees with the key skills to respond flexibly to a rapidly changing market. The programme addresses the critical gap between the needs of modern industry and the supply of skills that standard education systems cannot yet fully cover.

The digital transformation of Slovak industry is progressing slowly. Almost half of companies identified their employees' insufficient level of the necessary skills as one of the key reasons for stagnation. How can the skills needed for breakthrough changes in industry be transferred effectively to employees? What will the ING 4.0 training programme aimed at supporting the digital skills of company employees bring to businesses?

We will provide answers at a press conference on the topic:

We Have No Time to Have Time. Employees' Skills Gaps Are Slowing Industrial Development
