Dual Learning for Improving Digital Skills of Young Woodworkers

Target groups

The action is targeted to help the EU youth (ages 18 to 35) becoming key drivers for properly answering to the challenges posed by the Industry 4.0 and IoT, which have been soundly reshaping the woodworking and furniture industry in recent years.


As well, it contributes to feeding a sector made up almost completely by SMEs and aged workforce with young skilled workers, and thus avoiding the loss of European manufacturing and craftsmanship history.

  • The project

    The purpose of the WOODigital project (2020-22) is to improve the digital skills - Industry 4.0 - of young Europeans (ages 18 to 35) working or interested in working in the wood and furniture sector, through dual (VET - vocational education and training) training methodology.

    VET dual training combines activities carried out in both the training center and in companies. In other words, it is a work-based training modality.

    WOODigital will first identify the digital skills and competencies needed by young people working or interested in working in the wood and furniture sector. Then a new joint curriculum will be designed in order to meet these needs, based on this a training course will be developed (in 5 languages), and, finally, this course will be integrated in a online platform as an open and free online course. The course will be validated through a pilot course among at least 75 young people, 25 of whom will participate in a 10 days dual training stay in Italy.
