Industry 4.0 Upskilling for SMEs (I4U) aims to support the digital transition and Industry 4.0 skills upgrade for SMEs employees in labour intensive sectors such as engineering, mechanical, automotive, and manufacturing industries. The project will develop the concept for and implement 6 Upskilling Eco-systems which will bring together SMEs in labour intensive sectors with Vocational Education and Training (VET) Schools and High Education Institutions (HEIs) and other stakeholders involved in Digital transition/ Industry 4.0 processes. The objective will be to build capacity on relevant digital competences and develop easy-to-access ICT training concepts by matching HEI/VET offers with SMEs upskilling needs. 3 curriculums within Technical competence, Analytic Competence and Life Skills will be developed. Those will be divided into 20 concrete training modules tailored for SME upskilling and reskilling training, which HEI/VET institution can offer SMEs. To support both collaboration within each Upskilling Eco-system and the access to training modules and knowledge about Industry 4.0, the project will develop the I4U Upskilling Eco-system Collaboration platform, which will have a OneStop purpose for partners and stakeholders involved in I4U topics.
