The RE-MAIN project aims to improve the skills of VET students at European level in relation to the remote maintenance of industrial plants. In this field, the digital transformation requires industrial plants of all kinds to implement several changes in order to survive in the medium and long term. Applying the principles of so-called Industry 4.0 to the maintenance of industrial plants is therefore a strategic tool that increases the competitiveness of companies and increasingly determines their survival in highly competitive markets. Previous training programmes in the field of industrial plant maintenance are characterized by a strongly classroom-oriented approach. RE-MAIN aims to address a clear lack of skills related to the remote maintenance of industrial equipment by connecting students with the tools, competences and current opportunities of the sector and designing and implementing a transnational pilot course that takes into account the skills currently in demand by companies.

In the DigiKomp4 project, a framework for the development of data-supported PERSONAS was developed, which is now being further developed in DigiKomp5. The framework consists of 2 parts:

• Finding clusters in the data
• Evaluate clusters and develop PERSONAS using the clusters/variables

This framework with the 2 parts is used and evaluated in courses with students. The results are in turn incorporated into further development.
