Renewing working life
Our aim is to promote the renewal and resilience of working life through knowledge and competence-building. Our operations started in the autumn of 2022.
We define the objectives and solutions in close cooperation with working life, taking into account future competence needs and foresight information.
Continuous learning is a key for developing the ability to change as well as the skills and competences needed in working life. We need new innovations for work-based learning.
