With accelerating technological change, skills and competences of manufacturing personnel have to adjust more frequently. To provide tomorrows talents with the required abilities, it is increasingly important to have capable foresight mechanisms built into educational systems. Hence, ManuSkills will develop and implement a: • manufacturing competency framework, based on national curricula, the experience of our industrial partners and recommendations of organizations, such as ESCO, WMF, WEF • mechanism to observe future skills needs by monitoring different relevant sources, such as the EIT M Innovation Hotspot Radar, other Trend Radars of industrial partners, and open job postings, by means of AI and expert evaluation • diagnostic tool to derive individual competency profiles • mechanism to analyze the gaps on a macro-level (competency frameworks, curricula) and a micro-level (learning paths, course offerings of the GLP) and integrate the resulng tools into the EIT-GLP.
