Our managed services provide companies and government agencies with comprehensive solutions to address the skills shortages in technical and industrial fields. Our services include the development of curricula, educational programmes, certifications, training outsourcing for industrial companies as well as advice on the creation of skill development programmes. All our services are complemented by the Festo Didactic portfolio: designing learning environments and equipping laboratories with turnkey learning systems, on-site training, training programmes at Festo training centres and digital learning solutions.
To ensure the future workforce is well qualified for their careers and present-day employees have the competencies needed for future roles, we develop customised concepts and solutions in line with current market conditions and the required results for communities and companies.
The first step to developing educational programmes is a market analysis to identify the needs of local industry for skills that need to be fostered as well as those of existing educational institutions and their direct competitors.
This analysis is used to define the skills and professions that will be needed, including curricula and certification programmes, as well as the professional competencies in which further training is needed.
The curricula for professional competencies are developed in line with national qualifications. They have a modular structure and contain sections that combine theoretical knowledge with practical exercises.
The certification of students is an important part of any training programme as a way to ensure that skills are documented and are recognised nationally and, if possible, internationally. Festo draws up certification schemes in cooperation with national associations and can also include German certification in cooperation with German associations.
Based on the existing curricula of your educational institution and the market analysis carried out, we provide ready-to-use learning environments that are tailored to the specific professional competencies or occupations that are needed in your region.
It's crucial for manufacturing companies to establish long-term training programmes at their site and boost the qualification of their employees in order to safeguard the success of their production facilities and ensure their long-term competitiveness. One way of achieving this is by working together with external training partners and educational institutions.
As developers, we offer solutions to close the skills gaps – the discrepancy between the skills of the available workforce and industry requirements. We analyse the training needs and the skills gaps so that we can determine the appropriate training programmes for all groups according to their occupation and skills. In addition, we transform the results gathered during the analysis into specific and demand-based training models. These not only help solve training-related challenges, but are also a valuable investment in the future of the company! With our practical solutions, employees around the world are trained to the same high standards. By investing in further training and thus in supporting your employees, you will simultaneously boost their motivation and enable them to perform their tasks efficiently.
The developed training process can be seamlessly integrated into the customer’s business and HR strategy. Our experience in equipping and operating training facilities enables us to support our customers in developing viable and sustainable concepts right from the start. Our expertise in operating training centres for Festo and on behalf of customers all over the world enables us to pass on our insight in how to efficiently plan training facilities.
The way in which classrooms and workspaces are separated has evolved over time and reflects important criteria about methods and group dynamics. This forms the basis for a modern and challenging learning environment. Our product portfolio offers a comprehensive approach, both for our industrial customers and for educational institutions. This ranges from learning systems with technical components and training factories for industrial automation to e-learning programs and software simulations. Our range covers technologies for factory, process and building automation such as hydromechanics, electrical engineering and mechatronics, telecommunications, renewable energies, wastewater treatment, cooling and HVAC, production and manufacturing as well as maintenance and service.
