Last February 1^st took place in Dresden, Germany, the kick-off meeting of the European project TEX4.0 – Enabling Industry 4.0 Skills in Textile SMEs.

This Erasmus+ project aims to provide VET learners, including the current textile workforce and NEETs, with training and upskilling on Textile 4.0 – related technologies, in order to keep up with the rapid technological advances of the sector and to increase their employability opportunities.

This first in person meeting took place in the premises of the Technical University of Dresden and consortium partners had the opportunity to laid the foundations of the project and discuss about its initial steps.

Among other issues, the meeting made it possible to define the visual identity of the project, establish the monitoring criteria to guarantee its quality, and schedule and divide the tasks for the next six months among the members of the Consortium.

Thus, the TEX4.0 project has officially started, and we are looking for VET trainers, VET learners and textile stakeholders that would like to participate in this initiative.
