Five European Regional Skills ecosystems will collaboratively design, test, refine and exploit an integral curriculum in digital transformation competence for mid to high level EU technicians. The curriculum will be available in EN, BG, EL, ES, IT and NL and supported by an international IoT network Hub.The Digital Transformation in Advanced Manufacturing – DTAM project aims to create and provide innovative curricular training (reskilling and upskilling opportunities) in digital transformation competence for the advanced manufacturing sector (AM), for mid-high level IT and OT technicians at EQF Levels 4-5 +. Materials delivered will allow technicians to understand, install, configure, monitor, analyse, transfer data and maintain digital systems in advanced manufacturing environments. The complete DTAM curriculum will offer learners in IVET and CVET open access to all training modules as OERs via the project e-learning platform and to innovative supporting digital technology in the form of an international network of IoT labs. The partnership will encourage the growth of digital transformation, and talent and technology 4.0 profiles in H/VET centres by providing and launching a(n):• Model for the Creation and Exploitation of a Sustainable IoT lab: the model created will address the essential issue of financing and sustainability of IoT laboratories through collaboration with local / regional industry and SMEs• International Network of DTAM IoT labs which H/VET centres developing IoT labs can join, supporting a growing pool of labs which learners can access remotely via the project IoT HubThe DTAM curriculum aims to be a reference curriculum for Quality training and certification in digital transformation competence for Smart Industry. The partnership aims to have the DTAM Modules validated and included in regional and national VET training courses in the mid-term.
The purpose of DTAM was to collaboratively design and deliver an integral curriculum in digital as well as transversal competences for technicians in Industry 4.0. The proposed curriculum focuses on deploying and managing digitalisation technology in the AM sector to create a pool of skilled technicians able to face the emerging technological and digital transformation inherent in evolved manufacturing processes.
Manufacturing companies, which make up 8,7% of the EU economy (EUROSTAT May 2019), recognize that the emerging reality not only requires specialised engineers but also a trained pool of skilled operative technicians capable of understanding, installing, configuring, transferring data and securely maintaining the high-end digital technology which connects and controls manufacturing.
