In a world shaped by rapid technological advancements, societal change, and evolving labour market demands, competence development has become essential for both organisations and individuals. Developing the right skills is no longer a one-time effort but an ongoing process that supports adaptability, innovation, and professional growth. To support this journey, EPICUR has developed a webinar series exploring competence development from two complementary perspectives: the organisational perspective and the individual perspective.
Through expert insights and practical examples, participants will gain knowledge about current skills mismatches and be inspired by hands-on examples of how organisations and individuals can work strategically with competence development.
