Better employment demands better knowledge
In the future, a more qualified workforce is needed if we want to ensure continuous growth and progress. While the size of the workforce is getting smaller in Eastern Denmark, more hands will be available in South Western Sweden (Skåne). Evidently, securing educational opportunities and evolving a dynamic labor market across the Oresund Region is essential. This way, education and available hands are put to good use where it is needed.
New and unique overlook
The project followed and analyzed the changes in the Oresund labor market from 2008 to 2011. The project developed ‘Øresundsbalancen’ (the Oresund Balance); a tool which collects available positions from 270 different kinds of job categories in the Oresund Region.
Work continued
In the future, the project wanted to see more Danes and Swedes travelling across the border to find jobs or to study. This way, a more dynamic labor market and study life will occur. The project wanted to continue its work, and thus the project 'Jobs and Education in the Oresund Region' began. In this project, the goal is to spread the knowledge from ‘Jobs and Competences’ so that citizens can take part in the labor market on the other side of the border.
