A new Nordic collaboration aims to strengthen startups in Zealand and the islands in the battle for qualified labour.
Business House Zealand is leading the Skills 2 Grow project, which, together with partners in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, will help growth companies recruit, retain, and develop employees.
The project is based on an analysis of the barriers startups face when seeking talent across national borders. This knowledge will now be used in a programme with workshops, networks, and concrete tools for the companies.
- It is often the first hires that are crucial for whether a startup creates a strong foundation for growth, says project manager Johanne Milø from Business House Zealand.
According to her, the ambition is to get companies to think more broadly in their recruitment and increasingly look towards the Nordic labour market.
The project is co-financed by the EU through Interreg Øresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak.
