- MANUFACTURING4ALL project seeks to transform small municipalities through digital education and entrepreneurship.
- The initiative is led by the City Council of Onil (Valencia) and with MESTIERI LOMBARDIA Consorzio di cooperative sociali S.C.S. (Italy), FunkWeb Suksess for all (Norway) and Finnova (Belgium) as partners.
The MANFUCATURING 4 ALL project will contribute with the municipalities to train young unemployed people in digital skills in order to improve and rebuild the entrepreneurial fabric. To this end, an educational and recruitment model for unemployed young people will be devised to prepare and equip future generations with sufficient knowledge. In this way, the aim is to ensure the supply of skilled workers and workers with whom to face the current threats on the labour market.
The main priority of the initiative is to combat the lack of long-term projects on the part of public bodies and local historical enterprises. To this end, it will be necessary to overcome the lack of competent and qualified personnel, to address the intense wage competition offered by nearby urban locations, and to promote and create innovative and multidisciplinary approaches in the labour market.
MANUFACTURING 4 ALL has a budget of 60,000 euros funded by the ERASMUS+ programme, which focuses on education, youth training and sport. This programme promotes internationalisation, inclusion, digitalisation and sustainability, core values that will guide every step of this project. MANUFACTURING 4 ALL is committed to transmitting and applying these principles to all its participants, seeking to drive digital transformation, diversity and environmental protection at every stage.
Changes in the business dynamics of the toy industry in Onil, driven by globalisation and decentralisation of companies, have affected industrial stability and population growth in the area. This impact is notable among young people, who are forced to look for job opportunities outside the region due to these changes in the industry. In parallel, in the Province of Sondrio, where Mestieri Lombardia operates, a similar phenomenon of depopulation is observed in the small municipalities, especially among young people who move to larger cities in search of job prospects.
The European project MANUFACTURING 4 ALL aims to transform small municipalities through digital education and entrepreneurship. The main objective is to implement best practices in digital skills training for the transformation towards Industry 4.0 and to improve the training of technical and support staff in the field of training, guidance and socio-occupational integration of young people in Industry 4.0. Therefore, it is essential that innovation and technological companies in the areas close to the municipalities collaborate in the development of the project, since they will be able to “invest” in a more qualified workforce.
