Live work training center human resources – the most valuable part of LW

- 12 employees, of which 6 LW instructors and 4 LW engineers (promotors)

- Engaging own LW experts –instructors (like in Croatia) - Using LW experts from other companies (like DSO) or even from other

countries (outsourcing) - Gathered know-how - Self developing

Desired profile of LW instructor

- Skilled electrician with some work experience on de-energized

installations - Younger and healthy - Open minded - Possessing theoretical and practical knowledge in LW - Very good speaker - The best predictor and analyzer - Andragogist - Psychologist - Dedicated to life-long learning - Leader and observer

Fluctuations of LW instructor influencing training capabilities

- Retirement - Changing jobs/companies

How to keep them? - Challenging instructors with new requirements (increasing their

personal development and personal satisfaction) - Investing into their education - Sending them to ICOLIM, CITTES, ESMO… as authors, equipment

demonstrators and live work crews - Better salary and/or beneficial laboring time

Possible cooperation between LW training centers

- Time limited exchange of LW experts - Meetings about new standards and conditions, PPE - Improving practices, new solutions and development of assessment

methods - LW training center add-ons (HV laboratory, equipment repair

workshop…) - Mutual yearly audits - Mutual training with new equipment, conditions, refreshment

courses for authorization extending - LW technology exchange

- Idea: make LWA as a connection point with possibility to apply for

EU funds (currently available ERASMUS +, Key action 1: Mobility of individuals, or more generally Key action 2: Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices).
