About this event
Why do industrial positions seem unattractive? Why a sector, so crucial to our everyday lives, that produces about everything around us, from tables, clothes, books to ping-pong rackets, robots and cars, is struggling to attract young people?
The manufacturing industry is facing a double challenge: fight against some negative misconceptions but also reinvent itself to rise over the criticisms against it.
Diversity, working conditions, skills, career growth, etc. The list of topics is long, join us for this new Industry 4.0 Web Café to discuss the causes but also the concrete solutions that can be put in place!
