Our goal

Our goal is to train key figures who can lead and manage the digital and sustainable transition of companies in various industries, manufacturing and service sectors. We provide the necessary tools for the managers of the future to meet the challenges of innovation in a new way.

The Academy is for you

The Industry 4.0 advanced training course is aimed at technical area managers and managers of companies in manufacturing, industry or offering services compatible with new technologies, outplacement workers and freelancers. We promote the training of young talented recent graduates in technical and scientific disciplines to foster the entry of figures ready to lead digital transformation.

Immersive learning

CIM4.0 spaces offer a stimulating and innovative environment. We offer our classes an immersive and dynamic learning experience through state-of-the-art labs, courses that integrate theory plus practice, and the conduct of team project work at the end of the course. We prepare resources with a multidisciplinary, collaborative, experiential and hands-on approach.

Individual tutors

Throughout the course, the student is supported in transforming new knowledge and skills into action skills. Each participant is supported by a mentor with whom, from the first meeting, personal characteristics and operational context, in which the participant is placed, are shared to assess obstacles and opportunities.

Assessment

Self-assessment: through a questionnaire, participants will help identify the degree of competence in specific technology and management areas.

Individual assessment: an initial assessment and support meeting aimed at guiding the performance of knowledge transformation and implementation will be held for each participant. Through individual interview, CIM4.0 proceeds to understand the characteristics of the participant and the operational context in which he/she is placed, to assess obstacles, opportunities, and individual characteristics.
Performance is evaluated based on specific KPIs.
