Using fully equipped training centres or workstations we can provide courses for individuals or groups.
The skills gap is real, and it’s only getting wider. There are people without jobs, and jobs without people.
What is the skills gap?
It’s a shortage of skilled, trained people. It’s the difference between what workers know how to do and what employers need.
How it affects you and your company
3.4 million manufacturing jobs will need to be filled in the next decade. But up to 2 million of those likely won’t be, presenting a serious challenge.

Rockwell Automation's Training calendar
Industrial workforces are being pressured like never before. The systems they must productively design, operate, and maintain are more connected and complex. Roles and responsibilities have expanded, requiring more diverse skillsets. In addition, older workers are moving into retirement, which leaves skills and knowledge gaps. Routeco and Rockwell Automation can provide training where and when needed to help address these issues.
