Virtual Training Pogramme Topics

THE VIRTUAL TRAINING PROGRAMME

The Fostering Digital Transformation in the Textile Industry virtual training platform is an Erasmus+ Small Scale Partnership funded programme and supports the delivery of a novel online virtual training platform that would engage business leaders in digital transformation particularly in the textile SME sector.

The platform will aim to show industry the value and potential of Digitalisation and equip Engineers and Managers with the knowledge to drive digital transformation in their companies.

The online training platform will be a research-informed evidence-driven series and the focus will go beyond the discussion of technology solutions to business value and new business models and skillsets.
