| Résumé : |
The manufacturing industry is undergoing a significant transformation, characterised by a green transition and rapid digitalisation. Technological advances have dominated Industry 4.0, whereas the transition to Industry 5.0 emphasises improving technology from a human-centric lens. This necessitates focusing on digital and green skills development to accelerate the green transition in industry. Within the context of Swedish higher vocational education (HVE), this paper aims to investigate HVE providers’ experiences of challenges in providing industry with the skills needed for green transition. Interviews were conducted with 22 representatives of HVE providers collaborating with industry. The analysis is based on a model for analysing overlapping transitioning systems for development of skills for the green transition in industry.
The findings indicate that there was an imbalance in pace between HVE and industry caused by various challenges at three transitional levels. First, at the individual level, there was an imbalance between students’, workers’, and employers’ perspectives on relevant training needs, skills, and engagement in the green transition. Secondly, at the company–HVE provider level, companies needed to keep pace with the programmes and courses offered by the HVE providers and recognise that workers on the shop floor needed to train and learn digital and green skills. Thirdly, the HVE system as a whole was unable to attract and recruit enough students to technical and industrial programmes, whereas the industrial sector did not have sufficient ability to identify emerging jobs which require digital and green skills to accelerate the green transition in industry. |
