Abstract

One of the main sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) is to teach people how to live in a sustainable way. Because of this, skill-based education is becoming more popular and is an important part of educational and social growth. Learning Factory (LF) provides gateways to skilled-based education. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to investigate the significance of the LF in academic institutions for educational and sustainable development. A multi-method research approach was used, including a literature review and bibliometric analysis, together with an overview of experts’ opinions. Furthermore, a case study of the success of LF has also been included to support the phenomenon of interest and determine the feasibility of LFs. Developing a trained future workforce for inclusive sustainable development is a requirement for modern higher education in order to achieve sustainable development goals. Furthermore, collaboration between academia and industry is required to train a future workforce for inclusive sustainable development and to achieve sustainable development goals. The study provides unique practices and experiences for educational and sustainable development. Furthermore, it insists on universities being more open to deep and local knowledge collaborations.
