| contents | The "Manufacturing Academy 2.0 " project, co-funded by the European Social Fund Plus, addresses the challenge of an aging workforce and declining birth rates in Finland s manufacturing industry. It focuses on developing training modules to preserve and transfer tacit knowledge from retiring experts to new employees in manufacturing industry. The education institutions involved in this project represent both higher education (Tampere University of Applied Sciences, Finland) and vocational secondary education (SASKY, Finland). This partnership ensures that the training programs are not only grounded in theoretical knowledge but are also directly relevant to the current and future needs of the manufacturing industry at various levels. Through structured interviews at the "Konepajamessut " Manufacturing Expo, the project gathered data to tailor training topics to industry needs. Results indicate a significant recognition of importance of tacit knowledge and a varied readiness to collaborate on training development. The responses also highlighted an overall positive disposition towards continuing education initiatives. This indicates a growing recognition of the value of life-long learning and upskilling opportunities, particularly through university and vocational school courses or training facilitated by them, to maintain a competitive and proficient workforce. |
