The increasingly rampant shortage of skilled workers is undoubtedly one of the core problems facing German industry. While many companies rely too much on the political landscape to solve this threatening phenomenon, other companies are taking matters into their own hands and taking different approaches. At automation specialist Festo, one of those family-run companies that has consistently proven itself in the top league of global competition, a special Didactic division has long been ensuring that the next generation of qualified employees are trained in-house.

Festo Learning Experience (Festo LX) is an innovative digital learning portal designed to enable a new way of learning. Festo has recognized that it is important in technical training and further education not only to impart theoretical knowledge, but also to offer the opportunity to apply and deepen it directly in practice. Festo LX therefore takes a holistic approach to technical training and further education, offering access to comprehensively didactically prepared learning content and suitable practical applications. Through the intelligent combination of eLearning courses and practical exercises, learners secure their employability in the high-tech industry of today and tomorrow.

With the newly launched Festo LX School program, the Swabians are targeting vocational schools and universities with a special offer. The Festo LX School subscription is designed to give these institutions access to a wide range of Festo LX content. Information on the range of functions, licensing and duration of the Festo LX School subscription can be found on the Festo website, and two online seminars on November 7 (1:30 - 2:30 pm) and December 7 (2:30 - 3:30 pm) will provide direct contact with the Festo Didactic experts.
