Trade union representatives as active cooperators in developing competence in SMEs

Objective

The ability to reorganise, cooperate and increase competence is an essential concept for the enterprises of the future. The challenge for SMEs consists of securing the right competences. To achieve this, every section of the business must participate actively. However, the lack of teamwork between management and employees may be a barrier. In some situations, elected representatives act as obstacles to developing competence and vocational training, but they could play an important role as intermediaries by using their influence in the business to initiate the process of identifying competence needs and planning vocational training. To do this, representatives need knowledge about why this is necessary and how to do it.

The aim of this project is therefore to reduce obstacles to competence development in enterprises by involving employee representatives in the process of planning and implementing continuing vocational training. The partners will develop and produce courses that involve employee representatives in diagnosing skill needs and planning vocational training solutions in the work place. Representatives will also be able to acquire knowledge about how to deal with future technological changes. The main product will be a training manual for employee representatives.

Impact
The outputs of this project will be designed to improve the psycho-social work environment of enterprises, for example, decreases in sick leave and the development of a learning enterprise.
