Powder Metallurgy (PM) and its related technologies - Additive Manufacturing (AM), Press and Sinter (P&S), Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) and Metal Injection moulding (MIM) - are essential for producing lightweight, high-performance components in critical industries such as automotive, aerospace, renewable energy and healthcare. These sectors are developing rapidly due to technological advances, sustainability demands and global competition. However, as highlighted in the CEDEFOP and European Skills Agenda reports, there is a growing skills gap in manufacturing technologies, particularly in precision engineering, digitalisation and sustainable manufacturing practices. PMEXCEL is a project for creating Centres of Excellence in PM industry based on the latest EU policies such as the Green Deal, Osnabrück Declaration and the Critical Raw Materials Act. This will be done by analysing the skill needs of PM industry and developing an online e-learning platform accredited by the EU as Micro-Credentials that will serve for young people/students to improve their competences, as well as transforming and updating the current labour force in PM industry with obsolete skills. The project aims to improve innovation and sustainability, being directly aligned with the EU vision of a climate-neutral, circular and resource-efficient industry by: - Addressing sectoral skills gaps in PM critical for green and digital transitions, - Creating flexible Vocational Education and Training (VET) systems that support innovation, inclusion and sustainability. - Integrating sustainability and circular economy principles into vocational training programmes. To meet the evolving demands of the PM industry, PMEXCEL collaborates strategically with partners in Sweden, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, and Türkiye to place a strong emphasis on VET with the long-term goal of building a skilled workforce that can drive the industry's future.
