Energy and automation digital solutions provider Schneider Electric has launched a training programme in the UK and Ireland to address the engineering skills gap and support digital transformation.
The programme covers AI, machinery automation, power management, and safety standards, offering access to Schneider Electric solutions, industry courses, and professional accreditations.
David Pownall, VP Services at Schneider Electric UK and Ireland, said: “There is an urgent need to build skills to embrace new technologies, drive modernisation, improve performance, reduce downtime, and comply with changing safety regulations.
“Not only that, but training is critical to career enhancement and a key foundation of a positive employee experience, attracting and retaining people when we’re facing a significant skills gap crisis.”
Training is available through specialist academies for in-person courses and a digital campus for on-demand Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses via the mySchneider portal.
Two academies are operational, with three more launching by year-end.
