3D training to promote the toy industry – 3aDitional
The toy industry is facing a revolution with the new possibilities offered by additive manufacturing. In an era of rapid technological advancement, the inclusion of older workers in updating their skills in additive manufacturing is a pressing need. Furthermore, attracting young people to this field could ensure competitiveness and employment in traditional sectors such as toys, footwear, and jewellery.
However, what are the current training gaps that need to be filled to cover these job skills and abilities? Are they different in their application to traditional industrial sectors? How can skills be complemented?
The 3aDitional+ project, a two-year initiative supported by the EU’s Erasmus+ program, was created to address the evolving needs of traditional manufacturing sectors. This collaborative partnership in vocational education and training (VET) is strategically designed to train older workers in the footwear, toy, and jewellery industries, seamlessly integrating innovative and sustainable techniques, specifically additive manufacturing, into their skill sets.
To evaluate the achievement of the objectives, a Quality Management Plan will be implemented to analyse the content and training methodology from various perspectives. This approach will enable the replication of the project’s results, ensuring its impact and sustainability over time. In addition, the project is designed to facilitate knowledge transfer at the local, regional, national, and European level.
