EDU.training – EDUCATION & MACHINE TOOLS INDUSTRY
A program for a professional technical schools and technical universities
The problem
In recent years in Bulgarian machine engineering a problem appeared – absence of skilled workers
in the subject “NC-programming of CNC machine tools”. The reasons for the beginning of the
problem are complex, but here are some of them:
– Many specialists leave the country
– The absence of adequate governmental policy in the education for almost 20 years: zero investments in material base, not updated syllabuses and absence of relation between business and education
– Buying more and more machines with CNC, in consequence of machine engineering development during the last few years
– Absence of serious investments from business side for education and for training the stuff
We, ESD Bulgaria, are convinced that the only way is effective using of modern and heavy duty CNC metal cutting machines, which can give a chance to Bulgarian machine engineers for competing the European and the World market. This fulfilled using of CNC metal cutting machines can be achieved only with high qualified specialists.
Do you know that fairly 50% of the potential of a metal cutting machine is NOT benefitted because of insufficie or bad trained staff!
The solution to build modern Centres for training in “NC-programming of CNC controls”.
Training centre in Technical University - Sofia
Training centre in Technical University – Sofia
In October 2008 in co-operation with the Department of Technology of Machine Building and Metal Cutting Machines we created our first Center for training in “NC-programming of CNC machines”. It is situated in block 3, hall 3419 in Technical Univercity of Sofia. The training center was build with exceptional assistance of Professor, Doctor of Technical Sciences George Popov, Head of the department and with the inestimable help of associate proffesor doctor Peter Hadjiyski.

Vocational High School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering - Pleven
HEIDENHAIN programming stations to the Vocational School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering under the Domino project was delivered by ESD Bulgaria. In the process of training students in the field of CNC Machinery and Systems the programming stations will be used. Young graduates can quickly start working in manufacturing companies , producers of design and manufacture of machine elements and parts, adjustment and operation of CNC machines and equipment, as well as in other related fields. Specialists in this field are in demand in the region of Pleven and the whole of Bulgaria, as well as on the labor market in the European Union.
Dual education is being introduced in Bulgaria within the project “Swiss support for the introduction of the principles of dual education in the Bulgarian educational system”, funded by the Swiss Confederation under the Bulgarian-Swiss Cooperation Program. The project is briefly known as DOMINO – an abbreviation of “Dual education for modern requirements and needs of society.”
