This document describes the gaps (deficiencies and shortcomings) in technical and non-technical skills, knowledge and competences that the current workforce has in dealing with the introduction of digitisation, automation and emergent technologies in their industry sectors, with the advent of the 4th industrial revolution. For this purpose, the adopted methodology to perform this skills gaps analysis is presented, as well as the description of the design and deployment of the on-line survey questionnaire that will be distributed by the project partners through their existing contacts network. This survey will allow to perform an “as-is” characterization of the current skills and the “to-be” characterization of the needed skills in the context of the factories of the future, and focusing the collaborative robotics, additive manufacturing, mechatronics/machine automation, human-machine interaction, data analytics and cyber-security industry areas. The analysis of the collected feedback will be posteriorly analysed to support the identification of the skills’ gaps with different granularity, namely in terms of region, industrial sector and technological areas.

For this purpose, the adopted methodology to perform this skills gaps analysis is presented, as well as the description of the design and deployment of the on-line survey questionnaire that was used to collect feedback information to perform an “as-is” characterization of the current skills and the “to-be” characterization of the needed skills in the context of the factories of the future. The collected data was analysed to extract the skills’ gaps and impact in the non-technical and technical skills required for the successful transition into digitisation, particularly across the collaborative robotics, additive manufacturing, mechatronics/machine automation, human-machine interaction, data analytics and cyber-security industry areas. This analysis allowed to extract their deficiencies and mismatching, and better answer to what are the existing gaps between employer’s needs and employees’ skills, and what is the impact of a specific skill.
The adoption of disruptive digital technologies associated to the 4th industrial revolution is re-shaping the manufacturing environment, decreasing the low-skilled activities and increasing the high-skill activities, being expected to grow the complexity and number of new job profiles. This document presents the implemented procedure to identify the new job profiles that emerge with the introduction of digitisation in the context of the 4th industrial revolution, especially across the 6 manufacturing areas of collaborative robotics, additive manufacturing, mechatronics and machine automation, data analytics, cybersecurity, and human-machine interaction. The procedure is based on the analysis of the related literature and job recruitment repositories, complemented with the feedback provided by experts.
The performed analysis allowed to compile a catalogue of more than 100 new job profiles that were characterised and analysed in terms of technical and soft skills, type and level of profile, as well as the demand. The identified job profiles were also correlated to the technological trends, skills and training programs, allowing to create flows among these concepts to derive the actions needs for the up-skilling of workforce according to specific requirements.
This document presents the first version of the FIT4FoF report on current technologies and future trends in advanced manufacturing (D.2.2). The database is presented in detail as well as a number of analyses.
This document presents the FIT4FoF scenario on the future of work in advanced manufacturing which was elaborated during the project. It also includes the individual scenario aspects of the FIT4FoF piloting activities and outlines both the background of the future of work in smart manufacturing and the use of scenarios to prepare for it and to sketch out how this future can look like.
Deliverable 3.2 Methods and Tools for Composition and Assessment of Training Scenarios and Templates
This report introduces some of the methods and tools that may inform new training solution composition. The tools and methods are considered from the perspectives of the learner, the employer and the education provider and the Co-design methodology is introduced. To support the concept of tri-partite co-design methodology the project team held a design workshop and the report includes some of the considerations that emerged from that process.
This deliverable describes the use of a new educational framework, including processes and tools, in developing the initial training scenarios for the pilot programmes in the FIT4FoF project.
The main outcomes are “prototypical” sets of processes that have been titled The Future Skills Innovation, or ‘FuSion’ model, and which are designed to empower communities of educators, industry stakeholders and in particular workers. This enables one of the key objectives to be addressed, specifically, the co-development of a suite of training and educational templates by workers, educators, trainers and industry stakeholders.
This document presents a specific methodology that enables the overall methods and tools presented from the D.3.2 to be presented and used in the co-design workshops. These workshops will shape and form the process of engagement between stakeholders and inform the modularization techniques that can be applied for the resulting training programs. This effort will enable the four pilots to run the co-design methods, test the educational framework and will interpret how the relevant and existing educational materials, presented and suggested in D.4.1, can be used to influence, inform and, in certain cases, provide direct material. In the methodology results from the WP1 And WP2 - skills gaps, new job profiles and future trends, will also be integrated as sources of inspiration.
To be able to work in a co-design process when modulating and designing a course, a design process must be described. The design process enables both the employee/learner, the educators/course- designer and the employer/manager to work collaboratively in a process where the needs and competences from all 3 partners are needed.

Deliverable 6.2 FIT4FoF Communities of Practice Alliance Campaign.
This document contains the communication campaign made to disseminate the Communities of Practice of the FIT4FoF project: website, flyer, mails, social media networks and fairs. At the end, it is explained the plan to keep announcing the following months.
This document presents an outline of the activities undertaken during the last project year of FIT4FoF to exchange the knowledge gained and the experiences made among the FIT4FoF piloting partners. These activities aimed to maximise the learnings from each pilot by structuring and presenting them to the fellow partners in a way to best facilitate uptake of this information even beyond the individual pilot activity.
This document outlines the activities undertaken during the last project year of FIT4FoF to transfer the knowledge gained and the experiences made among the FIT4FoF piloting partners and towards external stakeholder communities. These activities aimed to maximise the learnings from the project outcomes by structuring and presenting them to research organisations, public organisations, industry associations, trade unions, individual companies, educational organisations and trainers, as well as other EU-funded projects active in advanced manufacturing in a way to best facilitate uptake of this information even beyond FIT4FoF.
D. 7.1 FIT4FoF Project website and Upskilling Digital Catalogue requirements
This document collects the necessary requirements for the development of the website of the FIT4FoF Project and the Upskilling Digital Catalogue, as well as the needs and comments of all the partners of the consortium through the communication session carried out at the Project kick off meeting in November 2018.
The FIT4FoF website is the most important communication channel of the project, and the Upskilling Digital Catalogue is an important element within this website. This document also includes the protocol for capturing Upskilling initiatives, as well as their approval or not in the catalogue.
Deliverable 7.2 FIT4FoF Project communication material
This document contains the communication set of the FIT4FoF project, as well as its indications and rules of use for the correct dissemination of the communicative contents, in order to guarantee the participation and attraction of stakeholders.
The materials discussed in this document have been created by CEAGA, as lead partner of Work Package 7, in charge of communication and dissemination of the project. Therefore, CEAGA is responsible for sharing these materials with the other partners.
