3 Tallin, 2017, October 24 th 1.- Motivation 33

4 Manufacturing: 1.- Motivation Key sector transforming material and energy into high added value products. It is responsible for 80% of Europe s exports. Roughly 15-16% GDP. Huge potential to generate wealth and high-quality jobs. Provides thirty million direct jobs and sixty million indirect jobs. Towards the Re-Industrialization of Europe. A Concept for Manufacturing for 2030, Engelbert Westkämper,

5 1.- Motivation 1. Lack of competitiveness: global competitiveness index Only Germany and UK in the top 10! 5

6 1.- Motivation 2. The shrinking population of Europe: needs > 50 million workers by 2050 Population pyramid Not only workforce but also tax revenue Current workforce getting older 6

7 1.- Motivation 2. Solutions to increase the population? Work longer and start receiving our pension later New birth policies Immigration: the most feasible? EU Blue Card: "Labour migration into Europe boosts our competitiveness and therefore our economic growth. It also helps tackle demographic problems resulting from our ageing population. José Manuel Barroso EU Blue Card Directive 7

8 1.- Motivation 3. Only 8% of year olds would consider a job in manufacturing (Drink manufacturer Mondelēz International) The majority prefer to work in service-based industries. Desk jobs are highly favored: 76% believe they are better paid and 84% more glamorous... Young people and their parents consider manufacturing to be: Dirty, greasy, sweaty work Aimed for people who didn t do well academically in high school A dead-end career-wise Low-paying Comprised of monotonous, brain-numbing tasks. less-than-10-of-young-people-consider-manufacturing-career/ 8

9 Scenario needs: 1.- Motivation 1. To attract well trained young people to manufacturing 2. To adapt long-life learning/education to future real needs of industry (high-tech), paying attention to the training needs of the current workforce 3. Immigration: special needs? 9

10 Tallin, 2017, October 24 th 2.- Attracting millennials to manufacturing 10

11 2.- Attracting Millennials to Manufacturing 1. Manufacturing Summer Camps : World Robot Olympiad ( Aim: to bring together young people from all over the world to develop their creativity and problem solving skills. Encourage them to be our future scientists, engineers, makers and inventors. Skills: creative thinking, cooperation and communication. Help introducing modern science into educational activities. Promote robotics in STEM education worldwide... Mondragon University has been involved in past years in that activity 11

12 2. Spreading information about Manufacturing: Manufacturing Day (USA) ( An opportunity for manufacturers to show what manufacturing is and what it isn t. Student perception changes... o 89% more aware of manufacturing jobs in their communities o 2.- Attracting Millennials to Manufacturing 64% more motivated to pursue careers in manufacturing TV programs (and films): How It s Made?, Made in Spain,... Museums, Journals, social networks... Cities, Towns: they should be proud of their past in Manufacturing

13 2.- Attracting Millennials to Manufacturing 3. Manufacturing hub for education: High Schools- Universities- Research centers - Manufacturers... Everybody should be involved when defining the needs of teaching manufacturing and the way to do it Spaces for the Maker movement Production of goods in physical and digital forums sharing the processes and products...learning-through-doing, shared learning... 13

14 2.- Attracting Millennials to Manufacturing 1. Manufacturing Summer Camps : high school-aged kids the opportunity to ideate, design, and build products Manufacturing hub for education involving industry, research centers, universities and high schools: Specific skills-training classes offered within high schools. 3. Spreading information about Manufacturing: manufacturing days, plant tours, career workshops, open houses, TV programs Spaces for Maker movement: shared spaces where community members can gain access to manufacturing resources, such as tools, materials, educational opportunities, peers, and more. 5. Other: 3D Printing at Home and in School

15 Tallin, 2017, October 24 th 3.- Rethinking education 15

16 1. Learning / Teaching factories: Manufacturing cannot be handled efficiently only in the classroom Learning environments that include: 3.- Rethinking education real processes including organizational aspects a physical product being manufactured a didactical concept that comprises formal and nonformal learning Mondragon Corporation / Mondragon University: Dual Training Model Students can work part time (3-4 hours a day) in research (fundamental to applied) projects at industries, research centers or even the university that allows them, apart form acquiring knowledge in manufacturing, recognizing some subjects and paying their studies. 16

17 3.- Rethinking education 2. Qualified workforce in technology needs to be trained in STEM: science, technology, engineering and maths Job market needs more technological based professionals capable to adapt to high-tech breakthroughs: automation, robotics, digital... Future graduates in science and technology are expected to be better considered. Rethinking Education:Investing in skills for better socio-economic outcomes 3. Cognitive and non-cognitive skills Education systems: not good enough in non-cognitive skills such as motivation, problem-solving, team-work, initiative, perseverance, resilience, self-control, 17

18 3.- Rethinking education 4. Adaptation of degrees at all levels to current industrial needs Master combining Industry 4.0 and Manufacturing? Additive Manufacturing: there are already some Training elder people according to industrial needs Capable to adapt to changes Better results would be achieved if basic literacy and skills are acquired. 6. Training immigrants The Future of European Education and Training Systems: Key Challenges and their Implications EENEE Analytical Report No. 3 Europe may not receive only high-skilled workers from outside of the EU. 18

19 3.- Rethinking education 1. Learning / Teaching environments similar to industrial ones: Learning factories, Dual- Training. 2. STEM for qualified workforce. 3. Cognitive and non-cognitive skills. 4. Adaptation of degrees at all levels to current industrial needs. 5. Training elder workforce. 6. Training immigrants. 19

20 Tallin, 2017, October 24 th 4.- Conclusions 20

21 4.- Conclusions In order to ensure the competitiveness of Europe in manufacturing sector actions should be taken in the near future: to attract people to Manufacturing: 1. Manufacturing Summer Camps 2. Manufacturing hub for education involving industry, research centers, universities and high schools 3. Spreading information about Manufacturing 4. Spaces for Maker movement... to adapt long-life learning in the near future: 1. Learning / Teaching environments similar to industrial ones: Learning factories, Dual-Training. 2. STEM for qualified workforce. 3. Cognitive and non-cognitive skills. 4. Adaptation of degrees at all levels to current industrial needs. 5. Training elder workforce. 6. Training immigrants... High Schools, Universities, research Centers, Manufactures...should be involved. 21
