Rationale

Text available in

North Karelia, with Joensuu as its capital, is one of the nineteen regions in Finland. The region of North Karelia comprises nineteen municipalities. North Karelia is the easternmost region of Finland sharing a common border of approximately 300 kilometers with Russia. North Karelia’s life has always been characterized by its clean environment and extensive waterways.
- population 170.000
- the biggest city is Joensuu with its 53.000 inhabitants
- population of Joensuu and its surroundings: more than 105.000

North Karelia region has 6600 enterprises and approximately 93% of them are small enterprises with personnel of 1-9. Enterprises are very important for the local economy, but the area’s remote location hinders their operating possibilities. Without an input to improve the skills of entrepreneurs and employees of these SMEs, their possibilities to succeed in international competition are at stake. Investments in SMEs’ personnel’s skills are also considered as an important mean to reduce long-term unemployment in our area.

The challenge is to ensure the development possibilities for aging professionals and professionals with outdated skills. In our remote area the threshold for local SMEs to enter existing development programmes is very high, therefore the project’s aim is to remarkably lower that threshold. It is also crucial to ensure the supply of skilled labor in the future and to find young entrepreneurs to continue within withdrawing businesses. The project will provide support for skill gap analyzes within these SMEs as well as educational planning and purchasing the education needed for the participants.

Objective

Text available in

There are two main objectives in the project:

1. To develop permanent networks (in 3 different areas) of regional public organizations, authorities, educational institutes and employment agencies in order to develop and support local SME development. In their respective areas, the DP’s will form trans organizational teams that will contribute a joint effort into development process. Local teams will also be networking among themselves and thus functioning in the whole region. Construction of this regional network is a key objective of this project and the project will try to find experiences in similar activities from its transnational partners

2. To increase the skills of local SMEs’ personnel. Each SME participating in the project will have a ‘tailored’ development plan, which will be built in co-operation with a partner from their local development project. Development activities will be conducted in co-operation with DP’s in that respective area. Project will also develop tools for knowledge management via internet and will aim to implement those tools into daily activity of its partner’s development projects.
