NAVALTECH will identify, analyse and develop training material for jobs connected to the shipbuilding industry affected by the introduction of new technologies.The project will: identify the new technologies affecting employment in the sector; contribute to the process of transparency of qualifications; identify training needs related to the introduction of new technologies; develop an appropriate modular training model; encourage the adaptation of organisational structures in response to the requirements of the information and knowledge society; introduce responsive training and continuous improvement in small companies in the industry.Results will include: an analysis of the effects of new technologies on the shipbuilding industry; a study on the potential effects (over the next 3 to 4 years) of new technologies on the shipbuilding and associated industries; an outline of existing jobs in shipbuilding and the associated industries; a diagnostic report on the jobs to be most affected within these key industries; a series of training materials (CD-Rom) in the areas of manufacture and production supporting the adaptation of individual job profiles; a dedicated website to act as a platform for all of the developed reports and materials.Dissemination will take place amongst relevant professional bodies and will comprise three individual phases: awareness-raising of the project and its objectives; informing interested parties of the methods and processes of the project and presenting any initial findings; presenting all products, findings and outcomes of the project.
