The first cluster companies in Odense Robotics have successfully participated and completed an upskilling course as part of the programme “Vækstrettet Kompetenceudvikling”. The project seeks to create training tailored to ensure employees have the necessary skills to fuel company growth. Automation Lab is one of the first companies to complete the upskilling course and plans to participate in more.
Vækstrettet Kompetenceudvikling was launched in May earlier this year as the first programme to support robot and automation companies on Funen in upskilling employees at all levels – new and existing. Companies can get a minimum of 50% funding for employee training activities that match their needs.
Automation Lab was getting ready to improve their skills within the software Iconics Scada as part of their growth strategy, but they were lacking employees with the right qualifications and experience required to manage the software. An Odense Robotics representative met with Automation Lab and explained the benefits the company would get by upskilling their employees as part of the project. The company immediately saw the benefits.
“The programme was heaven-sent. It was simply incredible that we could get the financial support to equip our employees with the qualifications needed to manage the system. Our aim is to become experts within Iconics Scada, which is why we need a good group of employees proficient in it. The programme kick-started this and we are eager to send our employees to more courses to ensure they get the exact qualifications they need to create growth,” says Claus Walther Jensen, Director at Automation Lab.
