REGROW - "Recruiting the Young Generation Workforce: Innovative HR Management"

ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION In many EU countries there is a severe shortage of
young skilled workers, especially in SMEs, which has a negative impact on
their growth prospects and competitiveness. Even countries such as Germany,
with its dual vocational training system, which has traditional strengths in
attracting young talent, are having increasing difficulties in meeting the
shortage of young skilled workers. There is a need of renewing the HR-
Management in many SMEs to better attract and integrate young talent and to
provide owners and employees with the necessary knowledge and skills. This
project has collected best practices and developed a SME centred HR-concept
including digital models, as well as various training programmes with
different measures for SME managers leading to the implementation of a modern
and holistic human resource management. Vocational Training Providers are
equipped with the necessary materials and training programs to qualify their
staff and SMEs and their employees in their sphere of influence. This
publication contains the relevant curricula, application notes and experiences
as a result of the project REGROW with the following partners: Hanse-Parlament
(DE), Berufsakademie Hamburg (DE), Chamber of Crafts Opole (PL), Chamber of
Crafts Poznan(PL), Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EE), IBC
International Business College Kolding (DK) and Arbeit und Zukunft e.V. (DE).
