AOF Vestlandet-Agder is delighted to have been awarded almost NOK 7.8 million for the development and piloting of five innovative course and education programmes. These programmes will meet the urgent need for skills in Norwegian working life and strengthen the workforce with both skilled and unskilled backgrounds.
Development in collaboration with the industry
Through close cooperation with relevant industry players, AOF Vestlandet-Agder’s development department has succeeded in securing funding for all five submitted proposals in three different Industry Programmes. With this award, we will be able to offer specialised training aimed at sectors such as waste and recycling, industry and construction, as well as information security and ICT.
Digital offers ready in spring 2025
These digital offerings are planned to be market-ready in spring 2025:
- HSE management aimed at the waste and recycling industry
- Project and facility management for the same sector
- Operational management in the workplace aimed specifically at the construction industry
- Course in Cloud Computing for the IT sector
- Additional courses in project and facility management for the waste and recycling industry
The work will start in early autumn 2024, and the aim is to launch the courses digitally, maximising accessibility for all interested participants.
Covering in-demand expertise
Our development department, headed by Inger Johanne Bligaard together with advisors Hilde Haave Detz and Elin Østensen Brekke, as well as coordinator Lina Frøland, has carefully mapped the needs of the relevant industries. By following up these needs with targeted courses, we are laying the foundation for significant skills development in line with employers’ wishes and society’s needs.
