Robotics Licence Bringing the future world of employment into the classroom.

Robotics and Industry

4.0are already part of our lives

• The automation industry is growing rapidly all over the world. Demand for industrial robots in Italy, Europe’s second largest market in this sector, rose by 13% in the first quarter of 2017 (“Il Sole 24 Ore”, 17/05/2017).

• Today, the development of STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) is one of the main objectives for the Italian and international educational systems. • 75% of students who graduate from ITSs (Technical Industrial Upper Secondary schools) find work within a year; the share rises to 90% for ITSs that prepare their students for industry 4.0 (“La Repubblica”, 25/05/2017).

New scenarios are opening up for the new generations, bringing with them many opportunities

Pearson, the leading publisher in education

and Comau, leader in industrial

automation, combine their expertise

with one common goal:

to offer an educational project of the highest quality for teachers

and schools and provide students with a passport to the world of employment.

• An internationally acknowledged licence for the use and programming of industrial robots, equivalent to the certification granted to professionals and companies. • Students can receive it by completing an exam at the end of the training course, which will allow them to become robotics experts while still at school.

• The training proposal is recognised by MIUR (the Italian Ministry of Education) as an Alternating school-work programme for a total of 100 hours per student. • The project includes a 40-hour certified training course for teachers. The acquired skills will remain the personal assets of the individual teachers and of the school. • Schools can benefit from funding for projects related to digital teaching and robotics, such as PON 2014-2020.

ONLINE COURSE | MODULES 0-4: Comau Web Academy & Test The teacher receives an e-mail with the access credentials for the Comau Web Academy platform, which contains the Use and Programming course materials and the RoboSim simulator.

TEACHER TRAINING AT THE PEARSON-COMAU TRAINING CENTRETeacher preparation for delivering the course to their students, focusing particular attention on hands-on activities. At the end of the day, the teacher receives the printed certificate “Teacher authorised by Comau to teach the Use and Programming course within the Robotics Licence Project”.

Our proposal for the schools

The proposal includes:40 hours of training for the teachers 100 hours of training for the students

(recognised by the Italian Ministry of Education, also as an Alternating school-work programme) registration for the certification exam to obtain the Robotics Licence.

Training for the teachers is guaranteed by Pearson trainers. The exam can be taken after making a reservation at the Comau Headquarters in Turin

or at the Pearson Place Training Centres in Milan, Padua, Rome or Naples.
