On March 10, JEC Group (Paris, France) and Composites Expert (Givry, France) have signed a partnership agreement to promote E-learning Composites Academy, a 4.0 training platform dedicated to manufacturing processes for composite materials.
The beginning of this partnership is a two-fold process. An introduction webinar session will occur on March 15 at 4 p.m. CET (10 a.m. ET) and two training sessions will run during JEC World 2022 in Paris on May 3 and May 4, where Composites Expert will present the E-learning Composites Academy, with the goal of introducing people to the learning method and the interactivity of the teaching aids used in industry and education.
According to Composites Expert, its platform offers a new pedagogical approach aimed at appropriating knowledge of polymer transformation. Tools have been designed to combine the theoretical part (E-Learning course platform) and the practical part (BOXs, software, process simulator, exercises through manipulation) to observe complex phenomena, with the aim of mastering and optimizing transformation processes.
“One of JEC Group’s objectives is to develop access to education to help the composites industry to attract and train talented professionals,” states Anne-Carole Barbarin, content and product development director, JEC Group. “So, we are very proud to announce this partnership and to support Composites Expert initiatives, as joining common efforts and strategies will benefit the industry overall.”
Composite Expert’s training sessions target employees who would like to improve their expertise or study professional reconversion, companies that would like to know more or use composite materials and for students at universities and schools that want to go from theory to practical exercises.
“The partnership with JEC Group is a major step towards the development of our training platform. While several manufacturers have already supported us — such as Arkema, Chomarat, Daher, Diatex, Pinette PEI, Porcher and Sopara — joining JEC World to officially launch our platform is an amazing opportunity,” adds Jean-Pierre Cauchois, CEO, Composites Expert.
