The composite manufacturing industry is characterised by high added value and complexity of manual work processes. The future of the composite market is expected to be highly competitive, and companies with innovative capabilities and skilled labour force can thrive and gain market share. The key aim of the Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnership Project “Skilled Hand for High Tech Production” – CompoHUB project was to use the current potentials offered by the labour market (e.g. unemployed joiners, wood cabinet makers, textile workers etc.) as a baseline and furthermore involve additional education and training activities to re-qualify the labour force to be able to work effectively in the high-tech area of composite manufacturing.CompoHUB project has achieved 5 key objectives: 1) Identification and analysis of industry requirements and missing skills gaps in the area of composite manufacturing.2) Structuring the relevant working areas, key tasks and knowledge/skills and development of the occupational standard/national occupational qualification “composite laminator”.3) Development of the training programme in the field of composite manufacturing responsive to industry and labour market needs.4) Integration of the learning material into an on-line open-source learning platform in 3 different European languages (accessible at www.compohub.eu).5) Integration of the developed training programme into institution based Vocational Education and Training in Slovenia and Estonia.To successfully realise the objectives, CompoHUB project connected 6 different European partners, i.e.: 1) organizations that carry out research and development on composites and/or manufacture composite materials (company CompoTech, Czech Republic), 2) organizations that use the composite materials to manufacture composite parts for different industries (companies Aereform, Slovenia and MAC Motoplatika, Croatia) and 3) training organizations and VET providers (Zasavska ljudska univerza, Slovenia and Kuressaare Ametikool, Estonia). In addition, the Institute for Innovation and Development of University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) represented the overall project manager to connect and enhance cooperation between the three groups and also acting as liaison facilitating the codification of tacit knowledge and bridging the gap between vocational education and higher education. The Compo-HUB project produced a special impact on VET trainers and in-company trainers since it contributed towards the development of their training and subject-specific skills in the field of composite manufacturing, involving strong work-based teaching/learning component. It furthermore equipped the target training group with the new knowledge and skills in the respective field, which are required by the labour market. The developed on-line learning platform provides the access to the most recent and up-to-date knowledge and developments that can be effectively customized to specific requirements of individual customer (companies, VET institutions, higher education). The new developed training programme in the field of composite manufacturing presents an important competitive advantage for VET providers, as up to date, no similar training programme was offered neither in Slovenia nor Estonia.The long-term sustainability of project results is based on 4 main exploitation mechanisms: 1. The developed results, namely the training programme and platform are further used by the consortium partners as supplement to their existing education and training activities and in-company specific trainings;2. Commercial exploitation and customization of training programme to specific needs of customer (composite manufacturing industry and VET providers);3. Mainstreaming and accreditation of the occupational standard and catalogue “the composite laminator”. This assures that skills and qualification are more easily recognized, within and across national borders, as well as in the labour market;4. The Composite HUB as the source of new research, development and training initiatives connecting different composite industry segments and education & training organizations, namely VET and higher education. The driving principle is the exchange of technology and good practices, also contributing to the development of innovative practices in the field of education and training.
