the regional category of mechatronics of Confartigianato Sicilia was formed. It will be led by Paolo Infantino, former president of mechatronics in the Syracuse area. He will be supported by two vice-presidents, Fabrizio Caruso and Mario Mirisciotti.
Mechanics, electronics and IT: training is essential
Technological innovation and training within mechatronics structures, the main objectives of the new category. In an ever-changing world. In recent years there have been great difficulties in finding specialized and cutting-edge mechatronics, which is why training is a fundamental element for the growth of the sector. Continuous discussion will therefore be necessary, offering refresher courses on the latest technologies and specialist skills required by the market. Also planned are the signing of agreements for the purchase of wholesale spare parts and the creation of a network of aftermarket car repairers.
The objectives: to help companies adopt new technologies
“Today begins a new challenge for the growth of a strategic sector for the economy – commented Infantino -. Mechatronics is a sector that is based on continuous technological innovation. For this reason, one of our main objectives will be to help businesses adopt new technologies and develop innovative products and services. We will do this through the dissemination of information, the organization of training courses and the promotion of research and development projects. Furthermore, we will work to encourage the inclusion of young people in the sector, through professional training courses and internships in companies”.
A constantly evolving sector
“Mechatronics are highly qualified professional figures who operate in a constantly evolving field, characterized by technological innovation and specialist skills – said the regional president of Confartigianato, Daniele La Porta -. The new category is ready to support companies in the sector and promote their growth through concrete actions on two main fronts: innovation and training. My best wishes go to the president and the two vice presidents”.
