The Excellent Advanced Manufacturing 4.0 project, EXAM 4.0 , EXAM 4.0 by its acronym, is one of the five Platforms of VET Excellence approved for funding by the Erasmus+ programme in 2019 under the Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) pilot initiative launched by the European Commission in 2018. 8 partners from 5 countries (Spain, Belgium, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands) representing the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector and the industry will work together in this innovative project, coordinated by TKNIKA, the Basque VET Research Centre.
The report presents case studies from Germany, Spain, Netherlands, and Sweden, the challenges to be solved, and what specific benefits were achieved. They also describe measures that have been taken to achieve the solution, what competencies are needed by an employee, and point out possible job profiles to work in such an industry environment. The templates and following graphs are illustrations of the functional competencies of different qualifications from HVET and VET institutions, as well as skills, knowledge, and competencies, which are hierarchically structured and interrelated.
