Competence

Business and knowledge institutions must strengthen interaction and dialogue about competence.

The business community must actively facilitate skills development in the workplace and exchange experiences in this regard across companies.

The knowledge institutions must focus on new and flexible forms of teaching and lifelong learning, integrate sustainability in all education, and work to strengthen the established Council for Cooperation with the Working Life (RSA).

The state must take a clearer role in dimensioning and division of labor between the educational institutions so that through their various strengths and profiles they cover the country's need for knowledge - in the short and long term. In addition, financial support schemes should be established for the university and college sector and the business world, to strengthen the possibility for further and further education.

The professional organizations can offer courses and tools that can solve competence needs and ensure that more people continue and further their education. Skills policy and skills measures must be the subject of the social dialogue between the parties in the workplace, and in the tripartite cooperation between the authorities and the parties in working life.
