FIRST EMCO CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN SLOVENIA: Skofja Loka School Center Becomes the First Slovenian Competence Center for CNC Training and Practice. In presence of numerous industry representatives, the mayor of Skofja Loka and a representative of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce, the first Center of Excellence was officially opened in a festive ceremony on October 21. With the establishment of the Center of Excellence, EMCO provides a platform for continuous improvement and development of CNC training in line with the industry: Up to date, in line with the industry and comprehensive - this is how perfect training should look like.
The topic is up to date and a burning issue for the entire sector: Where will we find our future skilled workers? Years with low birth rates, a very hesitant mood of girls to start a technical training, and a retirement age tending to be too early are just a few topics the discussions are focusing on. As experienced provider of CNC training concepts, EMCO supports technically oriented training institutions in meeting the industry’s requirements on skilled CNC workers: with corresponding CNC machines for training, software and modern courseware – and the establishment of the Center of Excellence for CNC training.
