ABB helping to prepare students for future of work

ABB is working closely with educators to close the automation skills gap with a new robotics education package.

ABB is working in numerous projects to help students in schools, colleges, and universities worldwide understand the enhancements robotics is bringing to industries ranging from engineering and manufacturing to architecture and product design.  The most recent project is the ABB Robotics education package for schools, colleges, and universities.  Developed by industry experts, the package empowers students from all backgrounds to excel in robotics and automation.

“With robotic automation increasingly embraced by multiple sectors, from manufacturing and distribution to retail and healthcare, companies are looking for people with the skills needed to handle robots and automation,” explains Andrea Cassoni, managing director of the General Industries Business Line for ABB Robotics.  “By enabling schools, colleges and universities to easily create and run robotics training courses that are recognized by industry, ABB’s Robotics Education Package is closing the technology skills gap by preparing students for the automated workplace.”

Although some 80 percent of global educators see automation shaping employment in the next 10 years, only one in four education institutes incorporate robotics into their curriculum*.  Overcoming the current lack of teachers trained in robotics and automation, and the difficulty in incorporating robotics training into the curriculum seamlessly are the two primary aims of this new undertaking.
