The increasing shortage of skilled workers is also very present in the machine tool industry. Over 60% of manufacturers report difficulties in filling vacancies -  primarily due to a lack of qualified applicants. This problem limits the operational capabilities of machining companies and threatens their competitive advantage in a market that is increasingly reliant on automation and efficiency. Effectively addressing this shortage is critical for both large and small businesses to ensure their continued success and growth.

Goal: To open up new paths in technical education and training in order to decisively counteract the shortage of skilled workers and the skills gap.
