Ingenjör4.0 - Scaling up modularized continuing education for professionals
Rapidly increased digitization of industry and society creates increased competitiveness, resilience and long-term sustainability. Digitization, however, requires new skills from professionals in all industries, while the average age is increasing and is higher than in competing countries and regions.
The lack of young people makes continuing education and lifelong learning crucial for continued Swedish competitiveness. Vinnova's strategic innovation program Produktion2030 and 13 universities within the Swedish Production Academy have developed the continuing education program Ingenjör4.0 to support the industry. It is a modularized training offering with a focus on industrial digitization for professionals with an engineering background. The program was successfully tested with 60 professionals in 2020.
The project proposal "Ingenjör4.0 - Upscaling" is to be central to the digital transformation of industry in Sweden. The project goal is the continuing education of at least 1,000 people per year. The project creates innovative, large-scale, lifelong learning among industry professionals.
