Level 2 minimal - vdma.eu
According to the OECD education report, Germany only remains in the international midfield - despite increased spending on education. The VDMA is therefore calling for minimum standards in German and mathematics as well as targeted quality assurance measures in the education system.
Production technologies are driving Germany forward as a high-tech country. The new Hightech-Agenda is heading in the right direction, but this progress is still only on paper.
Many companies are still facing bottlenecks in the recruitment of young talent. The VDMA is therefore launching the "Weeks of Technology" together with its members and universities.
Through the transfer of technology and knowledge, students receive practical training and companies can retain skilled workers. SMEs should be supported in cooperations in university teaching.
The German parliamentary election campaign is all about taking clear positions and making demands. VDMA Vice President Verena Thies explains where the industrial SME sector is struggling.
Study by the IMPULS Foundation for Engineering Education for Industry 4.0 develops the first target profile for engineers in industry 4.0 Appeal to universities: Making teaching more interdisciplinary New competencies: Computer Science, Data Science and Data Security
Professional and personalised application management still has plenty of room for improvement in many cases. Low-threshold application processes (such as via WhatsApp) are an interesting new development.
The VDMA provides a wide range of services and advice for member companies, but also for universities and media agencies in the field of science policy and engineering studies. An overview.
We, the education department of the VDMA, support our members in all matters relating to the recruitment of junior staff, schools, training, studies and further education and serve as a bridge to education policy. Here you will find the right contact person for your topic and your question.
Student theses demonstrate the importance and diversity of digitalization opportunities in mechanical engineering
The VDMA networks universities with companies and is committed to increasing student success in the engineering sciences.
The number of vacancies for engineers in the mechanical engineering sector has reached a new high and demand will continue to grow. Currently, two out of three companies have engineering vacancies to fill.
Analysis of 1700 questionnaires shows deficits in specialist knowledge about industry 4.0 Universities must develop curricula for industry 4.0 Employees must be prepared for digital change through further training strategies
A recent VDMA investigation shows that The vast majority of young people can finish school without ever coming into contact with a proven technical education. Germany as a nation of technology cannot really afford this.
The VDMA regularly publishes studies and surveys on engineering studies and derives suitable positions and statements from them.
