In recent years, Northern Europe’s peripheral areas have become attractive regions for larger or smaller green and digital investments. New opportunities for people and communities have opened up in otherwise sparsely populated regions, and beyond.
At the same time, some jobs disappeared while others are not taken up and workers in sectors such as healthcare, digital industries, or technical service are highly demanded. This creates imbalances and challenges for many regions and communities.
The 2023 Interreg NPA annual event will look at how Northern Periphery and Arctic cooperation projects can support reskilling, attracting and retaining the needed workforce.
The Northern Skills conference will be the opportunity to exchange on:
What solutions can be put in place by local communities to address the shortage of workforce and the impacts of changing economies and societies?
How Nordic communities can become attractive destinations for workers and their families?
How to facilitate the labour market demands with a small population?
What is the role of youth and indigenous peoples in shaping the future of the NPA?
The goal of this event is to be a source of inspiration for communities across the Northern Periphery and Arctic, to work together, benefitting from the respective experience and capacity.
