Welcome to GEARS

Introduction to GEARS project

GEARS is a Leonardo project. The main objective is to improve competitiveness of the Mechanical engineering sector by ensuring that senior / owner managers in engineering SMEs will be supported in developing strategic plans for their own companies that take account of management theories. 

This learning will be based on higher-level skill development but will be directly focused on immediate application to their own real business world and therefore will have an immediate direct effect on their competitiveness. 

This project will put into place methodologies involving non-formal / informal learning in the workplace for Managers to tackle the sectoral skills shortage.
