The growth of renewable energy and aging infrastructure have created an acute need for experts in substation design.
The demand is growing exponentially
"When we talked with our customers, it became clear that there is a desperate shortage of substation designers – and the demand is only growing," says Sales Specialist Marcin Arcisz, who influenced the innovation of the new Boost training solution from Academic Work.
Companies are now feverishly looking for technical experts, but there are simply not enough of them found on the labor market. Nor can traditional education paths respond to this need quickly enough.
To solve this specific problem, Academic Work innovated a new kind of Boost training. It enables the training of desired targeted expertise in just weeks and grows new professionals for fields suffering from a talent shortage, such as electrical engineering and automation.
The strength of Boost training is its speed and targeted content. Often those graduating from university have good basic knowledge but lack practical expertise in a specific work environment. Boost fills this gap effectively.
Recruiting the right experts is the key to successful training
“Together with our customers and our training partner Brights, we noticed that this is an area where people can be trained quickly, as long as the right people are found," Marcin says.
When recruiting, emphasis is placed on cognitive abilities, motivation, and personality fit for the new role, as well as a suitable educational background.
The structure of the Boost training is based on the intensive Accelerated Learning model, where practical learning and continuous monitoring of learning ensure that participants reach clearly defined learning goals.
Boost builds expertise for the entire industry
Training solutions like Boost quickly produce targeted expertise exactly where it is needed most. They help companies find motivated workers, and at the same time, the trainings grow the talent base for the entire industry.
"Instead of competing for the same experts on the market, the Academic Work Boost brings completely new talents along – and thus supports economic growth and the success of the technological transition more broadly," Marcin characterizes.
After the Boost intensive training period, a guaranteed job awaits the experts, where they can apply what they learned in training in practice.
