Quantum Skills
QT Indu

Quantum technologies are set to transform industries in the coming years, with applications ranging from simulations and optimization to high-precision sensing and secure encryption. To ensure that businesses can fully leverage this emerging technology, employees need targeted training and upskilling.

QTIndu is a collaborative European initiative, bringing together academic institutions and industry partners to develop specialized training programs. As part of the Quantum Skills program by the Stifterverband, QTIndu aims to:

• Develop a pan-European short-term training program in quantum technology.
• Offer industry-specific courses tailored to the needs of companies and SMEs.
• Provide scalability guidelines to expand the work done in QTIndu across Europe.

As part of the QTIndu project, the Stifterverband is a member of the consortium conducting regular workshops with partner companies until 2025. These workshops aim to tailor training programs to the specific needs of businesses, allowing companies to pilot the courses during the development phase and contribute their own insights.

To promote our training programs and raise awareness of quantum technologies, we are launching a series of Lunch & Learn events – interactive, one-hour sessions that provide valuable insights into quantum technologies and their applications.

These monthly sessions are designed to be accessible to everyone, even those with little prior knowledge of quantum technology. The events will provide brief, engaging insights into key topics, offering an introduction to the world of quantum technologies without overwhelming the audience.

Rather than just presenting course content, these sessions will highlight exciting quantum applications, give attendees a sense of the broader potential of the field, and encourage open dialogue. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn about how quantum technologies are already making an impact in different industries.

We invite all curious minds to join and get a taste of the future!
