Learning Center/Training and Consulting
Full Operation of Learning Centers
Our independent Learning Centers serve local industries, applying Festo standards to help close the identified skills gaps. Our approach for establishing Learning Centers is driven by the vision to provide customized qualification solutions that meet individual and actual market demands.
Operating training departments for industries
In today’s worldwide economy, businesses have adopted the trend of outsourcing activi-ties – in production, logistics, and materials management, but above all in services. The main purpose is generic: companies focus on their core competencies and outsource other tasks to service providers. As the market leader for technical vocational education, Festo Didactic is a professional partner in operating training departments and steering qualification measures according to our part-ner’s vision.
Consulting services for curricula and training content development
Festo Didactic develops curricula and provides consulting services for training content devel-opment and vocational and academic skills standards and programs. We deliver training solutions focused on measurable business outcomes with a wide range of standardized and customized trainings. Our training solu-tions are not only aimed at the delivery of indi-vidual qualification courses – we also develop job-role-specific programs and curricula, focusing on competencies for a particular position. The Learning Center portfolio also encompasses competence management and train-the-trainer programs.

Apprenticeship Programs
Festo Didactic offers and sup-ports successful apprenticeship programs.
Today’s workforce challenge in manufacturing is the skills-gap experienced by our customers, partners, and suppliers. The lack of technical basics and STEM- related knowledge prevents appli-cants from starting promising careers in manufacturing. At the same time, open positions stay vacant for a long time and ulti-mately even vanish. This equation means loss of productivity and profits – we believe this situation is not acceptable.
What is the dual-apprenticeship program?
Apprenticeship programs in Europe date back to the late
1800s. Today, apprenticeships are available in about 350 different professions with a duration of training between two and four years, depending on performance and trade.
Apprenticeship programs com-bine work experience, hands-on training, and theoretical educa-tion. Essentially, apprentices are hired by a company for the dura-tion of the apprenticeship at a wage of 40-50% of the salary they will receive upon completion of the apprenticeship. Employers provide on-the-job-training, teaching the profession and all related knowledge and skills. The apprentice works for the company and attends classes at a partici-pating college. Generally, the apprentice works three days a week, plus one day training and
one day in school. (This is the Festo Didactic Model in the US.) Because of the program’s inte-grated educational concept, it is called “dual-educational system” or “apprenticeship” (work and learn).
The benefit for the employer:• Positive ROI• Well-educated employees• Increased level of loyalty• Future specialists who know
the entire production process• Additional work opportunities
for local community• Gain highly competent employ-
ees who meet the needs of the company
• Improve productivity and qual-ity of products and services
• Reduce turnover costs by increasing employee retention
The benefit for the apprentices:• Education alternative to a col-
lege degree• Paid apprenticeship – no debt
at the end of the program• Program graduation, certifica-
tion, and credits• Option to add college educa-
tion still available after the pro-gram or later in life
• Career path instead of just a company specific training
• Gain occupational proficiency necessary for employment opportunities and a living wage
• Unlock a professional career path with career advancement
• Earn in real and state-of-the-art work environments (machinery, processes)
• Learn how to identify with com-pany and occupation – have a job upon program completion
Festo Didactic and Apprentice-ship in USA
There are several opportunities in the US, supported by local and national public entities, to start and foster apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs. Festo Didactic supports these programs completely. We support the planning and realization pro-cess with our specialized know-how. We also participate in tech-nology hands-on training and train-the-trainer programs. With our extensive network, we are able to bring manufacturers and the educational sector together for a successful outcome of apprenticeship programs, which help companies to fill their talent pipeline and increase productiv-ity, as well as improve the quality of their workforce and individual lives and perspectives.
Festo Pre-Apprenticeship Pro-gram – Industrial Maintenance
The pre-apprenticeship program is an introduction to several tech-nologies taught by Festo using industrial, hands-on learning sys-tems. It includes 21 training days plus self-learning sessions and workforce readiness elements.
Participants receive a technical overview that is unique in the industry. Employers hire future apprentices or trainees with fun-damental knowledge to build up company-specific skills. Program graduates then have a particular set of employable skills compa-nies want to invest in.
The entire program takes four months in collaboration with local community colleges.
