Project Summary

<< Background >>

The furniture sector is a very relevant industry within the EU, composed mainly by SMEs. Industry 4.0 and the related digital transformation have a strong impact on this sector, as they imply a series of challenges and significant changes along its whole value chain. To transform this into real opportunities we need companies able to successfully design, lead, implement their digital transformation. There is a clear lack within the furniture sector of managers able to carry out these tasks.

<< Objectives >>

DITRAMA aims to produce a new joint curriculum for the Digital Transformation Manager new occupational profile; create the related training materials; and deliver an open, online, interactive training course. Workers and students will acquire knowledge and skills needed by EU SMEs to successfully understand, lead and carry out the digital transformation within their company and facilitate the SME to exploit the opportunities it offers. It aims as well to strengthen sectoral collaborations.

<< Implementation >>

Twelve partners, following knowledge and skills needs fine-tuning, produced a new joint curriculum for the Digital Transformation Manager and validated it among sector stakeholders. They delivered the related training materials and an interactive and innovative MOOC. They tested it through an open Pilot Course and collected the feedback for its adjustment and improvement. They organized multiplier events and a successful large online final event for results presentation and dissemination.

<< Results >>

DITRAMA successfully involved along the project hundreds of experts and stakeholders to deliver a validated joint curriculum for the Digital Transformation Manager and produced an innovative MOOC with 100 training pills and customizable training paths for EQF 4 & 5, which was tested by 384 learners in a pilot course. Involving EU sector stakeholders, it created the DITRAMA National Networks and established long-term collaborations within them and with other ongoing sectoral initiatives (ALLVIEW)
