Increased productivity

Our learning services integrate best 

practices and new learning technologies 

to deliver real business value 

Siemens technical learning services 

provides students with the critical 

knowledge they need to know for their job 

directly from the equipment manufacturer. 

Our training solutions build the competence 

required to confidently make informed 

decisions in the daily operation of your 

plant’s automation and drives systems. 

Employees will achieve increased 

productivity (studies say up to 230%), while 

staying up to date with new technologies 

and best practices. We understand your 

people, processes and technology to offer 

complete learning solutions and 

competency management programs.

Professional instructors, engineers, 

and highly qualified field service 

personnel, who have in-depth 

understanding of your equipment, 

processes and systems, conduct 

scheduled classes using simulation 

workstations at our world-class 

facilities, online, or on-site 

Our practice-based learning approach with 

associated exercises makes it possible to 

gain theoretical knowledge reinforced with 

hands-on experience. Students simulate 

real-world situations to learn programming 

troubleshooting techniques that will help 

them commission, maintain, and operate 

your equipment with greater efficiency 

and an enhanced focus on safety.

what they have learned in a classroom 

setting they will retain 75% of the lesson, as 

compared with lecture-only settings where 

they retain just 20% of the lesson. Designed 

to mimic real-world environments, Siemens 

simulator workstations provide a safe and 

risk-free platform for job training, project 

testing, design engineering, and 

troubleshooting. 

Our learning content is reviewed and 

approved by Siemens technical and 

operational experts to ensure compliance 

with the highest industry, health, safety,

Workforce Performance 

Improvement

Siemens training solutions will help you get 

your workforce up to speed and stay current.

A recent report from Deloitte and the 

Manufacturing Institute (MI) projects more 

than three million U.S. manufacturing jobs 

will open up over the next decade. Two 

million of those vacancies are expected to 

go unfilled.

Experts have warned for years about the 

manufacturing workforce reality created by 

retiring baby boomers taking decades of 

knowledge with them as they leave. While 

candidates are lining up for these jobs, 

many do not yet have the digital skills 

required for the changing workplace 

creating a manufacturing skills gap 

challenge.

The solution to bridging the skills gap is to 

improve performance by identifying and 

increasing the related competencies for the 

specific job/role, thereby increasing job 

performance as well as overall 

organizational performance.

Workforce Performance Improvement

Siemens Workforce Performance 

Improvement program is a well-defined, six￾stage cyclic program providing transparency 

into employee job skills for success. Our 

program begins by aligning current worker 

competency to business targets.

Each of the six stages have been carefully 

designed with the end in mind. The 

improvement process begins by identifying 

your key performance indicators (KPI) 

related to workforce learning.

As part of the process, employees are 

evaluated and set on purposeful and 

sustainable performance-based skill 

development paths – paths which result in a 

highly skilled, confident and motivated 

workforce. This, in turn, results in less 

downtime, reduced turnover and, 

ultimately, an improved bottom line for your 

operation. 

Siemens approaches the learning process 

from your business perspective. We have a 

common goal: improving job performance 

based on your business needs.

Getting your workforce 

up to speed
