This text placed special emphasis on human capital and its skills for industrial transformation. Investment in accompanying measures to increase employee skills is one of the keys to success industrial policy. In the existing qualifications, few contents refer to this change and the new skills required. On the other hand, in some Member States, there is a lack of qualified manpower in this sector. However, if the sector wishes to develop, it needs qualified personnel, capable of to understand all the evolution related to the new technologies integrated into the production industrial.
