COSKILL – 2

ABOUT
The Covid-19 pandemic has had repercussions in different industries and at different levels. Many companies have been forced to restructure to respond to the uncertain economic situation, with employment security at stake. 

The current pandemic is likely to speed up the digital transformation process. Therefore, to emerge stronger from this crisis, companies will need to quickly define the skills needed and reskill their employees. 

CoSkill aims to strengthen the position of individuals in the labour market and support the private sector in Skåne and Blekinge, by helping companies to identify adequate skills required in this context and providing free skills development programs to their employees.

CoSkill is funded by The European Social Fund and is the result of a cooperation between Region Skåne, Region Blekinge, and various cluster organisations. 

The efforts will target a wide range of industries at different levels and has four focus areas: 

  • Innovation Management
  • Industry 4.0
  • Digital Presence, and 
  • Digital Excellence. 

Mobile Heights, in collaboration with Blue Science Park, leads Digital Excellence or so-called “Digital Spets”, which has an explorative orientation and aims at knowledge-intensity industries.

GOAL
The project aims to increase competitiveness in Skåne and Blekinge and to strengthen the position of individuals in the labour market during and after COVID-19 pandemic by helping small and medium-sized companies to identify the skills needed in the ongoing digital structural transformation and providing free skills development programs to their employees.
