Future Production Education
The project aims to increase interest among young people in Sweden in pursuing education in industrial production. Currently, we face challenges in attracting a sufficient number of students to our program, which could jeopardize Volvo CE's ability to secure the right competencies from MDU in the future. Therefore, we see the need for a new and innovative approach to conducting education, where Mälardalen University collaborates closely with Volvo CE and other industrial companies to offer an attractive education program.
