Innovative Training Revolution: Immersive Learning and On-the-Job Training
19 January 2023, 11.00-12.00 (CET)
EVENT OVERVIEW
In a time of rapid digital transformation and life-learning as a new normal, the need to constantly reskill and upskill is considerably increasing. Technical training, upskilling and reskilling in advanced manufacturing constitute an indispensable part of a growing economy, notably in the near future, where 25-45% of jobs will be subject to automation. Therefore, the concepts of digitisation and simulative environments call for safer, faster and more versatile training methods that can be successfully implemented and efficiently overcome skills shortages in Machine Tool Industries: Immersive Learning and On-the-Job Training.
This webinar intented to raise awareness about successfully implemented pioneering training practices, which can improve skills performance and ensure employees possess the necessary competencies to optimise new technologies. The objective was to exchange experiences and good practices and to provide an overview of modern training methods for companies by bringing together industrial actors, technological centres, and other relevant stakeholders.
