Project description
The MEKI project – Achieving more with AI – aims to counteract the shortage of skilled workers with innovative AI-supported learning software.
The software provides individual support to trainees as they learn the content of their training, boosting motivation and increasing the success rate. The focus is particularly on occupations with high dropout rates and acute skills shortages. The learning software is initially being developed for the occupation of IT systems electronics technician. The software will be available for this vocational training program starting in the 2026/2027 school year. Additional vocational training programs are currently being identified and will be added in the following school year, 2027/2028.
AI content for vocational schools
In addition to AI tools for learning support, we also develop small learning nuggets for vocational school teachers to give trainees a comprehensive understanding of AI.
