Our Initiatives
Electude is proud to contribute to education, social, and environmental
initiatives worldwide, inspiring learners and educators, supporting
the green transition, and making education accessible.
Education and Social Initiatives
Guided by the mission of reimagining how technical students learn, helping them achieve their potential, Electude offers innovative and effective learning materials that empower learners and educators. We continuously contribute to education initiatives across the world, expanding access to high-quality automotive education, empowering individuals with opportunity, and driving positive change in society.
WorldSkills
WorldSkills is a global program that aims to inspire young people to develop a passion for skills through competition. Electude has provided testing software, exhibition support, judges, and training aids to WorldSkills competitions worldwide since 2014.
The company has contributed to regional competitions in the United States, national championships in the US, the United Kingdom, Spain, and South America, and recently to WorldSkills international competitions.
For almost a week, young professionals who are national champions in different skills compete to become world winners in their fields. Electude joins one of the six skill sectors, namely, Transportation and Logistics – Automobile Technology.
According to Grant Petch, Skills Competition Manager for Automobile Technologies:
“As SCM, I chose to use Electude as a sponsor for the WorldSkills International competitions because they bring many advantages to the competition. Electude, for me, can develop and build realistic faults in the latest technology for light vehicles. The faults that Electude develops are relevant to what the industry is experiencing now. This enables the competition to assess the skill sets needed to diagnose current Body Electrical and e-mobility vehicles.”
Alexander Amiri, Director of Sponsorship and Partnership of WorldSkills International, also praised Electude for its contribution:
“Showcasing that skilled young people are essential to creating a sustainable world is an important part of WorldSkills Competitions. We are proud to partner with Electude, who provided electronic vehicles for WorldSkills Lyon 2024 and offered training and support to our Competitors. Their innovation in education and hands-on learning transfers seamlessly into our competition setting.”
EC/DC Competition
Electude has created the Electude Car Diagnosis Competition (EC/DC) to bring together apprentices from vocational schools to compete in theoretical and simulation-based automotive tasks.
The competition, previously known as EMSCOM, has had three successful editions in Germany. The most recent event was held in June 2025, when the finals of EC/DC Lower Saxony took place in Braunschweig.
Building on this success in Germany, the company intends to expand the initiative to other EMEA countries.
Through EC/DC, Electude aims to inspire, motivate, and challenge technical learners, rewarding exceptional performance with tools and resources and supporting exemplary apprentices in advancing their careers.
“So much enthusiasm, team spirit, and technical learning in a single day. That motivates not only the students, but also us as teachers.” — Björn Schäfer, teacher of Automotive Technology Practice at BBS Melle, Germany.
Electude Simulator Challenge
The Electude Simulator Challenge is a free online game that allows learners to diagnose and repair failures in three progressive difficulty levels. The users compete for the highest scores and test their ability to troubleshoot engine management systems.
The learners can practice and experiment with the tool, trying out the fully functional simulation of an internal combustion engine. All learners across the world can access this engaging, free simulator to test their knowledge, develop skills, and practice.
Other Initiatives
In partnership with global and local organisations, Electude has supported several other educational and social initiatives across the years, including VET Future Skills, Go for Africa, and Mission Motorsport UK.
Environment
At Electude, we actively support the green transition through our educational offerings, internal practices, and external projects.
Our Electric Vehicle curriculum covers all components and systems of hybrid and electric vehicles, equipping students and professionals with the knowledge they need to work on sustainable technologies and helping to drive the shift towards eco-friendly transportation.
Internally, we’ve taken meaningful steps towards reducing our carbon footprint. The solar panels at our headquarters provide renewable energy to power the building, and our lunch is completely organic.
The company fleet consists entirely of electric vehicles, and we prioritise sustainable travel by encouraging staff to take trains whenever possible, minimising our reliance on air and car travel.
In addition, Electude is involved with projects committed to a greener future, such as Auto-Cove 2.0 and the e-kart team of ROC van Amsterdam.
Auto-Cove 2.0
Electude is one of the 16 partners of the Auto-Cove 2.0 consortium, a project co-funded by the European Union and led by Omnia, the Joint Authority of Education in Espoo, Finland.
From June 2023 to May 2027, Auto-Cove 2.0 is building an Education and Training framework for the vehicle sector with a clear orientation towards the green transition.
The project addresses the sustainability skills gap in the automotive sector by setting up a multidisciplinary partnership between Vocational Education and Training (VET) schools, higher education institutions, and automotive companies from eight European countries.
Electude joins the project consortium as an international specialist in digital learning materials for VET education in the vehicle field. All the didactical material will be created on Electude’s e-learning platform and will be publicly available for five years after being published in 2027. Electude consultants guide the production of the learning material and work in close cooperation with the project’s technical developers.
Electude’s role as a critical partner underscores the importance of innovative e-learning solutions in achieving the project’s goals and ensuring that Europe remains at the forefront of automotive technology, education, and sustainability.
“Electude, as a special company representative partner in Auto-Cove, offers a readily created and fully working platform for the project. Electude platform guarantees the widest possible dissemination of Auto-Cove project study modules and teacher courses, directed exactly to the appropriate target groups: learners and teachers of technical vocational institutes and workshop personnel in 70 countries and 3400 active schools.” — Elina Kollanus, International Specialist at Omnia.
