EDWartens is officially launching in the United States, bringing our award-winning, CPD-accredited automation training to the American market. This expansion represents a significant step in our mission to equip engineers globally with the skills they need to succeed.
The US Automation Skills Gap
The United States is experiencing a manufacturing renaissance. Reshoring initiatives, infrastructure investment, and Industry 4.0 adoption are driving unprecedented demand for automation engineers. Yet the supply of qualified professionals is not keeping pace.
According to industry reports, US manufacturers cite the inability to attract and retain qualified workers as their top concern. For automation-specific roles — PLC programmers, controls engineers, SCADA specialists — the gap is even more pronounced.
What We Bring to the US Market
EDWartens brings a training model that has been proven in the UK and UAE:
- CPD-accredited programmes with independently verified quality standards
- Hands-on training with real Siemens and Allen-Bradley hardware
- Industry-experienced instructors with commercial project backgrounds
- VR-enhanced learning using our proprietary Meta Quest training modules
- Career support including resume review and employer introductions
Our courses cover both Siemens (dominant in European markets) and Allen-Bradley (dominant in North American markets), giving students the versatility that US employers value.
