Training, retaining and recruiting skilled employees
Practice-oriented | Skilled workers are the most valuable asset companies, higher education institutions and extramural institutions have. In the light of the existing lack of skilled workers and of the advancing technological progress there is a need to foster MINT subjects early on.
In order to guarantee that the plastics and chemistry sector remains competitive and fit for the future, the Cluster relies on these focus areas:
School
- Career and study guidance with regard to MINT subjects
Training
- Boosting the industry’s image
- Widening activities in the area of education and raising the quality of training
- Making use of dual study programmes
Recruiting skilled employees and retaining them in the company
- Further education and qualifications
- Transfer of knowledge
- Good employment and changes in the field of labour
