Robert Bosch Energy and Body Systems Kft. has been awarded a 178.64 million forints non-reimbursable grant under the Széchenyi 2020 programme, with European Union support, for a project (number GINOP-6.1.8-17) to set up and operate the system of its Corporate Training Center The training courses developed in the project will enable the company to react more quickly to the demands of industry and the challenges of the labour market. During the two-year implementation period, courses will be held for production-area associates, managers, job-seekers from the labour market, and suppliers’ employees.
Since 2012, Robert Bosch Energy and Body Systems Kft. has been cooperating with partner schools in the dual training system designed to educate skilled associates. Our 2000 m2 training center with twenty-three employees, is a base for courses that broaden the skills of employees and future employees in dual training, and associates in the production areas.
The automotive industry is one of the fastest-growing branches of manufacturing, and adult training, where we continuously expand the skills of our own associates, is getting an ever-greater role in the company. Future managers start as workers in the production areas, and for them, developing social and management competencies is as important as improving technical skills. For our associates in the production area, we also provide the basics of the IT skills demanded by Industry 4.0.
As the company develops more and more of its manufacturing areas to use the potential of Industry 4.0, expanding Industry 4.0 skills has become a focus area of corporate training. Our courses teach digitization, internet, BIG DATA, PLC, robotics and mobile communication technologies.
The programme includes the implementation of an OKJ (National Qualifications Register) course for which, in cooperation with the local Government Office, we are specifically seeking people with disadvantages in the labour market. We are planning to obtain an adult training licence to implement some of the courses. The programme will give the company long-term capabilities to maintain the supply of skilled workers and the high standard of its associates’ skills. Project GINOP-6.1.8-17-2018-00001 is expected to be implemented as part of the Széchenyi 2020 programme by 1 October 2020.
