Competence supply
The ongoing green reindustrialization will require a large influx of new labor with various skills across multiple industries in both Boden and the entire region.
To meet this challenge and achieve a seamless and efficient skills supply process, we are collaborating within the business community with the municipality’s employment unit, high schools, adult education institutions, and other stakeholders in the skills supply sector.
Locally and closely, we are working actively and now have a team of four people who will exclusively address issues such as needs analysis, skills attraction, and lifelong learning to meet the demands of the business sector.
Do you need help finding relevant expertise?
At the same time, we know that not all the necessary skills are available in Sweden. That’s why we look up and see the world as a recruitment base, where, among other things, the municipality of Boden is part of the global recruitment project MindDig.
Do you want your company to be visible here?
