Companies that are involved in or affected by the mobility transition are participating in the project as practical partners. This is particularly the case with regard to the creation and evaluation of the prototype implementation of the adaptation concepts.

Hirschvogel Aluminium GmbH (part of the Hirschvogel Group) and Contemporary Amperex Technology Thuringia GmbH have expressed particular interest in participating in the project, especially with regard to the creation and evaluation of the prototype implementation of the adaptation concepts.

Through our network, we can also achieve nationwide dissemination of our results among education and transfer actors, as well as spillover into areas other than electric mobility. The Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training in Bonn and the Schott-Zeiss-Bildungszentrum JBZ Jena, which focuses on vocational training in the optical industry and IT, as well as the Altenburg-AWA-e.V. training and further education association, which focuses on metalworking and electrical engineering/automation, among other things, will work closely with us. The same applies to the East Thuringia Chamber of Industry and Commerce, which also represents the Thuringian Chambers of Industry and Commerce in matters of training and further education in the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

The first part of the project focuses on building a knowledge base: The first step is to determine the needs of the automotive and automotive supply industry in terms of qualification requirements. To this end, the transformation to electromobility and the increasing automation in vehicle production will be recorded from the perspective of experts and employees. The aim is to make well-founded statements about potential training and continuing education needs. In a second step, these will be compared with the qualifications offered in training and continuing education in order to make well-founded statements about which qualifications should be modernized or expanded in terms of content or created from scratch. In a third step, gaps (mismatches) in existing qualification offerings and skilled labor shortages will be identified and corresponding recommendations for adaptation concepts will be derived.

The second part of the project focuses on the prototypical implementation and iterative further development of a prototypical adaptation concept for the model region of Thuringia: To this end, a solution concept for Thuringia will be developed in collaboration with our partners in the field. On this basis, at least one prototype offering will be developed and implemented in collaboration with partners who have expressed a keen interest in implementing the solution developed (companies and educational institutions). To this end, appropriate teaching content will be developed for one or more modules. In addition to jointly defining the content to be taught and the learning objectives, this also includes recruiting suitable experts to impart this knowledge. Teaching materials and media will be developed to accompany the program. The prototype implementation will also incorporate the latest findings on the potential of innovative formats (e.g., blended learning). The aim is to develop a corresponding learning platform. The experience gained during implementation and the feedback received will be used to further develop this offering and anchor it firmly in Thuringia's skills landscape. The long-term goal is to develop the concepts into scalable, supraregional, and cross-sector training and continuing education offerings.

The continuing education database is the result of project research on existing continuing education offerings in Thuringia. The listed results include continuing education providers and support services whose portfolios are intended for the automotive sector, among others. We do not claim that the list is complete and would be grateful for any information that would enable us to update the database. If you cannot find any offers you are aware of in the database, please do not hesitate to contact us.
