Description

GLOBAL MAT validated a new competence transfer model, a new measurable quality assurance system, and a new pedagogical principle for organising, delivering, and deploying effective production technology transfer within and between companies, as well as towards VET schools. GLOBAL MAT established new model(s) for delivering in-company skills development processes that significantly reduces the costs related to technology transfer and enhances production competence know-how transfer between the companies involved.
