Competence development and professional learning are critical for resilient and thriving companies, organisations and the overall regional development of southern Sweden.

Research over the last few years has shown several challenges to improving regional competence development including mismatch between skills and labor market demands, adapting the education system, demographic changes in and imbalanced skills supply across the region, and international competition.

We will also share findings from a pre-study looking into regional business needs and builds on a Collaborative Foresight process on the topic, for anticipating future skills and creating mature structures and strategies that develop current and future employees.
