Description

Description (DE):

Der Kreis Nordfriesland und die Kommune Tønder stehen, wie andere ländliche Regionen, vor vergleichbaren Herausforderungen bezüglich Arbeitsmarkt und Beschäftigung. Begründet ist dies durch ihre infrastrukturellen, regionalen und demographischen Strukturen. Studien für Südjütland aus 2014 zeigen, dass nur noch 24 % der Befragten Südjütland mit guten Jobmöglichkeitenverbinden. Ähnliche Tendenzen beschreibt das Fact Book 2016 für die Westküste Schleswig-Holsteins. Der regionale Arbeitsmarkt bietet in Folge: - ein unattraktives Arbeitsplatzangebot, - keine nachhaltige und zukunftsweisende Wirtschaftsentwicklung, - ein Mangel an qualifizierten Arbeitskräften. Das Projekt Fit4jobs@WaddenC hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, einen attraktiveren mobileren Arbeitsmarkt mit höherwertigem Beschäftigungsangebot in der gemeinsamen Region Westküste zu implementieren. Eine wesentliche Chance bietet dabei die Digitalisierung. Dieses Thema wird auf praktischer (Wissenstransfer in die Unternehmen) und analytischer Ebene (Studie zu Chancen im ländlichen Raum) bearbeitet. In Kooperationmit Hochschulen werden Unternehmen hinsichtlich innovativer Verfahren bei technologischer Entwicklung und im Personalmanagement geschult. Weiter wird durch Bildung grenzüberschreitender nachhaltiger Kooperationen u.a. zwischen Arbeitgebern, Unternehmen, Wirtschaftsorganisationen sowie Weiterbildungsträgern ein Wissenstransfer angeregt. Die Vorteile grenzübergreifenden Arbeitens für Fachkräfte in einem zusammenwachsenden deutsch-dänischen Arbeitsmarkt sollen sichtbar gemacht und sprachlich-kulturelle Hürden abgebaut werden.Davon profitiert dasregionale Arbeitsplatzangebot und eine physische Mobilität über die Grenze hinweg wird angeregt sowie die mentale Barriere, im Nachbarland zu arbeiten, abgebaut.Die Projekterfahrungen – werden vom Regionalen zum Allgemeinen - auf Programmregionsebene diskutiert und verbreitet. Neu ist: - Untersuchung digitaler Chancen zur Entwicklung des ländlichen Raums, - Multifaktorielle Berücksichtigung arbeitsmarktrelevanter Steuergrößen in einem Projektansatz, - WadddeC Region als Model-Region mit Wissensteilung, Kooperationen und gemeinsamer Lösungsfindung für die Herausforderungen der gesamten Programmregion, - Betrachtung des Themas grenzüberschreitender Weiterbildung auf Unternehmensebene, - Bildung grenzüberschreitender Kooperationen von Wirtschaftsorganisationen.

Description (DA):

Nordfriesland-kredsen og Tønder kommune står, ligesom andre landregioner, over for sammenlignelige udfordringer med hensyn til arbejdsmarked og beskæftigelse. Dette skyldes infrastrukturelle, regionale og demografiske strukturer. Studier for Sønderjylland fra 2014 viser, at kun 24% af de adspurgte forbinder Sønderjylland med gode jobmuligheder. Lignende tendenser beskriver Fact Book 2016 for Vestkysten Slesvig-Holsten. Det regionale arbejdsmarked er præget af: - Jobtilbud, der ikke er attraktive, - Ingen bæredygtig og fremtidssikret økonomisk udvikling, - Mangel på kvalificeret arbejdskraft. Projektet Fit4jobs@WaddenC har sat sig det mål at implementere et mere attraktivt og mobilt arbejdsmarked med beskæftigelsestilbud af højere kvalitet i den fælles Vestkyst-region. Her giver digitaliseringen gode muligheder. Dette tema behandles på praktisk (videnstransfer til virksomhederne) og teoretisk niveau (handlingsanbefaling). Virksomheder uddannes i samarbejde med uddannelsesinstitutioner i innovative metoder i forbindelse med teknologi og personaleledelse. Herudover inspireres der til videnstransfer ved at danne grænseoverskridende og vedvarende samarbejder bl.a. mellem arbejdsgivere, virksomheder, erhvervsorganisationer samt videreuddannelsesinstitutioner. Fordelene for den kvalificerede arbejdskraft ved grænseoverskridende arbejde i et sammenvoksende tysk-dansk arbejdsmarked skal gøres synlige, og sproglige og kulturelle forhindringer skal fjernes. Heraf profiterer de regionale jobtilbud, og der inspireres til fysisk mobilitet over grænsen og til at nedbryde den mentale barriere i forhold til at arbejde i nabolandet. Projekterfaringerne på projektregionsniveau diskuteres og udbredes fra det regionale til det generelle programregionnivau. F4J bidrager med følgende nye tiltag: - Undersøgelse af digitale muligheder for at udvikle landområdet, - Multifaktoriel inddragelse af arbejdsmarkedsrelevante styrestørrelser i en projekttilgang, - Inddragelse af aktører fra hele programregionen med henblik på vidensdeling, samskabelse og fælles løsninger på baggrund af projektregion WaddenC som modelregion, - Betragtning af temaet grænseoverskridende videreuddannelse via inddragelse af udbydere inden for området, - Dannelse af grænseoverskridende samarbejder mellem erhvervsorganisationer.

Description (EN):

The district of North Frisia and the municipality of Tønder are facing similar challenges to other rural regions in relation to the labour market and employment. This is due to their infrastructural, regional and demographic structures. Surveys conducted in South Jutland in 2014 show that only 24% of respondents still regard it as offering good job opportunities. The Fact Book 2016 describes similar trends for the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein. The regional labour market consequently offers: - unattractive job opportunities, - no sustainable and future-oriented economic development, - a skills shortage. The project Fit4jobs@WaddenC aims to create a more attractive and more mobile labour market with high-quality job opportunities in the joint west coast region. Digitalisation offers a major opportunity in this regard. This topic is being dealt with on both a practical (knowledge transfer in companies) and an analytical level (study on opportunities in the rural area). In cooperation with universities, companies are receiving training on personnel management and innovative methods of technological development. Knowledge transfer is also being promoted through the formation of cross-border partnerships, including between employers, companies, business organisations and further education institutions. The benefits of cross-border working for professionals in an increasingly integrated German-Danish labour market should be made clear and language and cultural barriers should be broken down. This will improve regional job opportunities, promote physical mobility across borders and overcome the mental barrier of working in the neighbouring country. The experiences gained during the project – from regional to general – will be discussed and shared throughout the programme region. New: - Research into the digital opportunities for developing the rural area. - Multi-factorial consideration of labour-market-related parameters within the scope of a project. - Direct Involvment of players from the whole programme-region with the scope of knowledge sharing and creating mutual solutions. The region WaddenC will be used as a model region for the aforementioned activities. - Consideration of the topic of cross-border training through direct involvment of companies and institutions . - Formation of cross-border partnerships between business organisations.

Achievements (DA):

Den største succes i rapporteringsperioden (2020) var den vellykkede strategiske ændring fra fysiske events til først identifikation af digitale/online værktøj, dernest test og afprøvning af disse og endeligt succesfuld gennemførsel af flere gode digitale events. Især AP5 & AP3.2.2.1 (Eksport) har været en succes, men også projektets »slutspurt« på AP4.2 har været godt. Med udvikling af kernefortællingen via video interviews og SWOT interviews har projektet skabt og sat positivt fokus på grænseregionen og det dansk-tyske samarbejde. Arbejdet med webportalen Work-In-DE-DK har taget enorm meget tid, men har ligeledes nedbrudt barrierer og har vakt en interesse omkring Region WaddenC som et stærkt brand. De mange eksterne møder omkring webportalen har alle givet stor positiv feedback på siden. Effekter af webportalen og kernefortællingen er at interesserede arbejdstagere og arbejdsgivere nu nemt og overskueligt, kan finde frem til relevant information og links til arbejdskultur, jobs og arbejdsmarkedet på den anden side af grænsen. AP3.2.2.1 var en af arbejdspakkerne som ikke kunne fortsætte som planlagt pga. COVID-19. Derfor besluttede vi at ændre strategi fra store fysiske konferencer, som ellers allerede var planlagt, til mindre virksomhedsnære online begivenheder. Dette resulterede som beskrevet, ikke kun i 18 virksomhedsflyers og et meget tæt samarbejde med virksomhedslederne herom, men affødte også enorm stor interesse fra erhvervsfremme aktører fra de andre nærliggende kommuner i både DK og DE. AP4.2 var en tung arbejdspakke at komme videre med. Idet det ikke længere var muligt at arrangere fysiske besøg over grænsen pga. corona, blev arbejdet med skoler og universiteterne ligeledes besværliggjort. Ihærdighed hos både projektteamets tyske og danske medarbejdere resulterede derfor alligevel med success. Et nyt digitalt koncept for studerende som ønsker at møde virksomheder er udviklet og bliver afholdt næste år og derudover er det lykkedes os, at finde flere studerende fra danmark der vil skrive deres afgangsspecialer assisteret af projektet samt udvalgte organisationer i regionen. Det videre arbejde med at skabe et bæredygtigt, sammensmeltende grænseoverskridende arbejdsmarked med udviklingsmuligheder fortsætter. Både fra dansk og tysk side er interessen for grænseoverskridende samarbejde stor, og gennem projektet er der skabt relationer, som ellers ikke havde været opbygget, som danner rammen for et gunstigt samarbejde fremadrettet.

Achievements (EN):

The greatest success in the reporting period (2020) was the successful strategic change from physical events to first identifying digital/online tools, testing and testing them and finally successfully completing several good digital events. Especially AP5 & AP3.2.2.1 (Export) has been a success, but also the project’s “final sprint” on AP4.2 has been good. With the development of the core narrative via video interviews and SWOT interviews, the project has created and put a positive focus on the border region and the Danish-German collaboration. The work with the web portal Work-In-DE-DK has taken a lot of time, but has also broken down barriers and has raised an interest in Region WaddenC as a strong brand. The many external meetings around the web portal have all provided a lot of positive feedback on the site. The impact of the web portal and the core narrative is that interested workers and employers can now easily and easily find relevant information and links to work culture, jobs and the labour market on the other side of the border. AP3.2.2.1 was one of the work packages that could not continue as planned due to COVID-19. That’s why we decided to change the strategy from large physical conferences, which were already planned, to smaller corporate online events. This resulted, as described, not only in 18 company flyers and very close cooperation with the company managers, but also generated enormous interest from business promotion actors from the other nearby municipalities in both DK and DE. AP4.2 was a heavy work package to move on with. Since it was no longer possible to arrange physical visits across the border due to corona, work with schools and universities was also hampered. The perseverance of both the project team’s German and Danish employees therefore resulted in success. A new digital concept for students who want to meet companies has been developed and will be held next year and in addition, we have succeeded in finding more students from Denmark who will write their graduation specialties assisted by the project as well as selected organisations in the region. Further work on creating a sustainable, interconnected cross-border labour market with development opportunities continues. Both from the Danish and German sides, the interest in cross-border cooperation is great, and through the project, relationships have been created that would otherwise not have been built, which form the framework for a favourable cooperation going forward.
