Mészáros Attila vice-mayor has also mentioned that only robots will be used at more and more companies in the future, which will make workforce unnecessary. Only the best qualified workers with adequate experience will be employed at these companies. The Alba Regia Technical Faculty OE is able to train such experts: there will be a robot centre in the town supported by the Óbuda University and the municipality as well. Students at dual trainings will have a huge advantage at the labour market.
