abstract
The digital transformation that the world is facing
has a strong impact in the professional occupations and job
profiles in the factories of the future context, requiring the need
of upskilling and re-qualification of the workforce. Taking this
into account, an Industrial Collaborative Educational Design
(ICoED) is presented comprising three stages and eight steps,
and considering a democratic and collaborative participation of
the different stakeholders, namely the managers, educators and
learners, each one providing its own perspective on the design of
the training programme. In this co-design process, the analysis
of the skills’ gap is a crucial task to prepare the initial stage
of the process, particularly identifying the needs in terms of
soft and hard skills. The proposed ICoED process was applied
to solve an upskilling problem of an industrial metal stamping
company, with the participants performing three workshops to
execute the eight steps, reaching a training programme with five
modules, each one settled with proper activities, resources and
infrastructures.
This work is part of the FIT4FoF project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement n. 820701.
