Background The hospitality industry is one of the largest industries and it is growing faster than GDP. It is expected to double its turnover over the next ten-year period. The competence requirements in hotels and restaurants are increasing sharply, while staff turnover is high. One problem is that those employed in the industry generally get no skills development. A large number of these employees are also foreign-born and do not have Swedish as their mother tongue, which causes them to have a weaker position in the workplace. One of the most important challenges for the future is how the industry should attract, recruit and retain the best skills. At an individual level, the target group must be matched to competence development that meets the needs of the business and the individual for professional qualifications and competence. A reduced skills gap increases competitiveness and growth opportunities for the industry that can contribute to the necessary structural changes needed in the labour market in the Småland and islands regions of Sweden. Where companies have a higher level of competence, increased supply of staff and more people are included regardless of sex, ethnicity and age. Method Local and regional skills enhancing efforts based on mapped competence needs in collaboration with participating companies, including both employers and employees in the region's hotel and restaurant companies, regardless of their form of employment and duration. Project owner The project owner is the Hotel and Restaurant Workers’ Union which has a unique position within the industry and the region, due to its extensive experience in trade competence issues for individuals and business development. The Hotel and Restaurant Workers’ Union is one of the organizations in the Education and Traning Council for Hotels and Restaurants, which also includes the Hotel and Restaurant employer organization, amongst others. In addition, companies and authorities in the region actively participate in this significant and important venture. Start Date: 2018-04-03. End Date: 2021-04-30 (Swedish)
