The analysis of educational needs has shown that post university training could be better fitted to meet the strategic needs of the industrial companies, thus filling the gap generated. From this information, expert learning, professional training and innovative methodologies have been proposed. The study covers industrial companies focusing activities of: (i) Product and Process Design and Manufacturing, (ii) Production Management and Logistics and (iii) Automated and Robotized Manufacturing. These companies are considered a fair proxy of the Barcelona Area Industrial company sector. Moreover, it is concluded that in intermediate positions and executives, training should further address management and improvement of personal skills and soft skills.
