Facilitating qualifications and further training for people

Through strong partnerships, we work towards to faciliate qualifications and further training for people.

We make knowledge accessible, teach digital and specialist skills, and create spaces for collaborative learning and innovation.

Wilo sees knowledge and qualification as an important foundation for enabling people to actively shape change. For this reason, Wilo combines education and training with the exchange of experience, technological expertise, and collaboration with customers, partners, universities, and other institutions.

Knowledge creates opportunities

Technological developments create new opportunities, but at the same time they also change the requirements placed on people and organizations. For new technologies to be used and further developed in a meaningful way, knowledge, practical experience, and the right competencies are needed.

Wilo therefore supports people in developing their capabilities and opening up new perspectives. Learning is not understood as a one-time measure, but as a continuous process that prepares people for change and enables them to assume responsibility.

Competencies for the digital and AI future

Digitalization, automation, and artificial intelligence are changing the world of work. With them come new tasks, new requirements, and new opportunities for collaboration and development.

Wilo therefore focuses on education and training as well as on digital learning offerings, training programs, and international development formats. A particular emphasis is placed on digital competencies: data literacy, the use of AI applications, and connected thinking are becoming increasingly important.

This is not only about understanding new technologies. People should also be enabled to assess their possibilities critically and use them meaningfully in relation to their respective tasks.

Practical example: Strengthening leadership and AI competencies worldwide

International learning and development programs support employees in building competencies for the digital age. Global leadership programs address the opportunities and challenges of data-based technologies. In addition, regional learning initiatives provide practical knowledge on digital tools and AI applications.

Global WATER AI Academy

Technological transformation requires continuous learning. With the Global WATER AI Academy, Wilo creates an international platform for qualification and knowledge exchange at the intersection of water, digitalization, and artificial intelligence.

Employees, young talents, and partners gain access to learning formats, practical projects, and scientific know-how. The Academy combines industrial experience with academic expertise and creates opportunities to build new competencies and apply them directly.

At the same time, the Academy illustrates the importance of strong partnerships for qualification. Stakeholders from the water sector, industry, academia, and technology come together, exchange knowledge, and develop new perspectives. In this way, learning is connected with networking and joint development.

Wilopark as a place for education, collaboration, and innovation

Wilopark in Dortmund brings together production, research, development, and training at one location. Modern demonstration environments, training areas, and digital application spaces create opportunities to experience technologies under real conditions and to further develop them together. Employees, customers, students, and partners come together here to exchange knowledge and develop new approaches to solutions.

This creates an environment in which learning does not take place only in theory. Knowledge can be tested, linked with practical experience, and further developed through exchange with others.

Partnerships as spaces for learning

Strong partnerships create spaces in which people can learn from one another. This applies both to collaboration with academia and technology partners and to exchange with customers and other partners.

The Global WATER AI Academy is one example of this approach. It brings together innovation, education, and cooperation while also creating opportunities for new partnerships and international networking.
