Summary of the project The project is based on one of Sweden's biggest challenges in the labour market today: the urgent need for health and social care personnel in the public sector. "With nearly 50 percent more elderly in a few years and only four percent increase in people between the ages of 20-66, the healthcare staff crisis is acute," the NWT said in an article (240209). Säffle Municipality is no exception. Trained staff are looking for the jobs that are best paid and the catchment area is far too small for the municipality to get the necessary staff. Therefore, the municipality is investing in solutions to develop skills, including temporary and hourly staff, in order to strive for more people to get permanent employment and full-time employment. The project will help more employees validate their knowledge and develop their skills in order to be able to take more advanced tasks and greater responsibility. The project will also help to motivate employees to lifelong learning by offering skills development initiatives for care and support assistants and new employees. Through skills development efforts, the individual will get a secure employment. Employees should have a greater understanding of how they themselves have the opportunity to be responsible for and contribute to a good working environment and how they can work to contribute to a better public health. They are more involved in skills development efforts and increase their knowledge and skills. In turn, this strengthens their position in the labour market. The project will target and make available skills development efforts in such a way that, in the longer term, it contributes to a less gender-segregated care sector where diversity characterizes the staff composition. Another expected effect of the project is that the organization will be able to design and deliver services and services in health and social care that correspond to the needs of the residents of Säffle and contribute to an increased good and equal public health. In addition, the efforts in the project will contribute to increasing the attractiveness of the health and social care profession in general and Säffle municipality as a workplace in particular.
