Technical professions are undergoing significant change. Digitalization, sustainability and emerging technologies are creating demand for new technical expertise, while adaptability, innovation and collaboration are becoming equally important workplace skills.

As workforce requirements evolve faster than many education and training programs can be adapted, a growing skill gap emerges between industry needs and the skills employees actually have.

As a globally networked education partner with strong industrial roots, we translate skill requirements for various professions into curricula and learning paths.

To make it as easy as possible for you as training managers, we have developed trainings plans that are simple to tailor to various occupational profiles based on skill requirement analysis. These plans reflect current skill requirements while new requirements are quick and easy to integrate, if necessary.

Our training plans answer important questions that teachers at vocational colleges, trainers and in-company training managers may have, such as:

• What new topics should I include in my lessons?
• Which topics will I have to include in the future?
• What topics do I need as a basis before I can start with more complex content?
• What learning scenarios are possible?
• Where can I get suitable learning material?
• How do I integrate modern learning methods?
• How do I help my students develop practical skills and ensure their employability?

It is crucial to have a good understanding of the skills required for different technical job profiles in order to offer suitable training solutions.

As part of the Festo Group, we have close links with industry and know exactly which skills are in demand. Our training division is a leader in modern, industry-relevant training. In addition, we regularly cooperate and are in frequent contact with leading educational and research institutions worldwide. This enables us to provide you with a true picture of the current status of training requirements, but also with realistic forecasts for the future.

Our goal is to help trainers and teachers bridge the skills gap by providing groundbreaking learning solutions to teach industry-relevant skills.
