Piloting of the Competence Account (ESR+)

The goal of the Piloting of the Competence Account is to develop a totally new, flexible training model that allows job seekers to enhance their skills through short-term training programs. These trainings address the skill needs of the labor market and help job seekers find employment with their new skills.

The objectives are:

To promote the employment and skill development of target groups
To develop a new operational model based on short-term training
To reduce skill gaps and provide targeted training to meet the skill needs of the labor market
To address the mismatch between open job positions and the available workforce
To integrate continuous learning more broadly into the skill needs of the region, job seekers, and employers
To develop a new networked ecosystem involving various stakeholders (municipalities, educational institutions, companies and employers, various associations, private service providers, organizations, and job seekers)
