Qualifying and securing skilled workers in the future digitalized world of work: Multimedia teaching and learning arrangement for the adoption of ICT technologies in the skilled trades (FachWerk)

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are spreading increasingly in almost all areas of private and professional life and are indispensable for the way people structure their lives today. However, the craft sector still stands at the beginning of the digitalization process, since a high proportion of manual, experience-based and non-automated activities characterize craft work. Nevertheless, an increasing need for qualifications in the use of information and communication technologies can also be observed here. As an example for the building trade and the electrical guild, FachWerk is pursuing the goal of qualifying skilled craftsmen for the future use of the potential of information and communication technologies by developing and testing a multimedia teaching and learning arrangement in line with demand.
