Car-2-Lab – innovative VET-learning model to impart digital competences in the automotive sector
The “digital revolution” represents a radical change for the economy and the society, which is comparable to the transition from an industrial to a service society. In order to ensure competitiveness and economic growth, European education systems quickly have to find solutions for practice-oriented teaching of digital skills in new fields of technology.
The automotive industry is also changing drastically. “Car-2-Lab” shows an example in motor vehicles and in the technology field vehicle communication, how to successfully convey new digital technologies in VET with high innovation pressure. In the project, VET-schools work together with higher education and research institutions and the industry from four EU-countries.
