The feedback gathered by the graduate students who took part in the 5G-DiGITs full training pathway delivered under Task 2.4, WP2, was highly positive.
The pathway covered all 8 courses and provided multidisciplinary training on advanced 5G technologies and their role in the digital and green transition, and included key competences in innovation and entrepreneurship, with a strong focus on practical learning through real-world use cases.
Their testimonials highlight the value of applying the course content in practice, as well as the importance of learner feedback during the pilot implementation, systematic testing, and refinement of the modular training curriculum.
The feedback shows that learners valued the opportunity to develop their knowledge of 5G and digital technologies in a practical and accessible way. Ronahi Ali expressed that “the 5G-DiGITs project gave me a better understanding of 5G and digital technologies in a practical way.” She also highlighted that the course was “easy to follow and connected well to real examples.” Similarly, Johan Skullman described the experience as “engaging,” explaining that it helped him understand “5G and digital technologies through practical and insightful content.”
Learners also appreciated the strong connection between theory and real-world applications. Johan noted that “the shared learning environment and connection between theory and real-world applications made the experience meaningful.” Davide Piccirillo added that the initiative was “the perfect opportunity to consolidate my technical skills and apply them to real-world case studies.” He also mentioned that the course allowed him to deepen his understanding of key technological pillars such as “Network Slicing and Edge Computing.”
Participants also emphasized the relevance of the course content for building future digital skills. Sebastian Brülls stated that covering topics such as “5G network evolution and applications” gave him “a valuable overview of the technology shaping our connected future.” Henrik Hultgren described the course on “network architecture and protocols” as “both engaging and informative,” adding that it gave him “a solid foundation in the fundamentals of the subject.”
Beyond technical knowledge, students also valued the collaborative and accessible nature of the project. Johan appreciated “the collaborative approach of the project,” which brought together different actors to create “high-quality learning material.” Sebastian Brülls described 5G-DiGITs as “a meaningful initiative for building digital competence across Europe,” while Henrik Hultgren highlighted the importance of EU initiatives in making “education in wireless communication accessible.”
We are very glad about the positive feedback received from graduate students, which suggests that the 5G-DiGITs learning experience is relevant and well received. Their testimonials confirm that the platform can support students and professionals in developing practical knowledge of advanced digital technologies across Europe, while also fostering collaboration and accessibility.
