The project in short
First: Research the local situation: skills needed at the labour market – skills taught at the universities – local capacity in HR, IT and infrastructure
Second: Develop technology courses in automation, industrial electricity, renewable energy, CAD/CAM, industrial design and production
Third: Provide industrial equipment for technology labs and supporting learning tools
Fourth: Training in the EU and Africa
All supported by digital tools for project management, course development & quality assurance Key ideas are openness, collaboration, synergy and respect.
