On 01 October representatives of the social partners in the Chemicals sector and the Federal Employment Agency signed a letter of intent to set up a joint training project that is specifically designed to train employees whose jobs are threatened in whole or in part by the digitalization of the economy. This is the first such collaboration on this subject and on this scale. Three pilot regions have been selected for a test phase that will start in December 2020 and will involve the implementation of software able to gauge the impact of digitalization on the various job types.
A national project to facilitate training in SMEs. Presented in Nuremberg on 01 October by the representatives of the Federal Employment Agency (BA), the Chemical Employers’ Federation (BAVC), and the sectoral trade union, the IG BCE, a letter of intent (c.f. file attached) with the somewhat dry but unequivocal name of ‘Cooperation for ongoing education and qualifications advice for employees and companies in the chemical industry,’ outlines what has been designed to help chemical sector employees, who are currently in jobs that will disappear as a result of the digital transition, to train with the technologies of tomorrow.
