Training programme for the cork industry

Objective

This projects responds to a need expressed by regional institutions in the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, who are faced with a burgeoning demand for training from companies in the cork sector. The training measures proposed up to now by various national institutions, companies and Extremadura town councils have not been adequate or sufficiently structured. The same problem, i.e. the absence of a solid, specific training structure, exists in Portugal, the world's largest producer of cork, as well as in France, where an attempt is being made to re-dynamise the sector. For this reason, the project partners propose to design a systematic training programme for employees in the cork sector and thus help introduce new technologies, job profiles and work practices.

The partners will first conduct a needs analysis for all branches of the cork sector as well as a comparative analysis of training in the sector in other EU countries. They will then design specific educational materials and introduce new technologies within the training programme. An instructor training programme will also be developed.

Impact
The project will reinforce and stimulate the cork sector by designing an organised, systematic training programme to meet previously unfulfilled needs. In addition, the project training course will open employment to people who, because they are not part of a family involved in the industry, cannot learn skills traditionally passed down from father to son.
