A new vocational training in Arvika focuses on using the power of digitization in society. This autumn, 30 people will be able to train as "Digitalisation leaders in the welfare sector".
DigitalWell Arena, together with the Vocational School at Arvika Business Center, is the initiator of the new vocational training "Digitalisation leader in the welfare sector". The goal is to give the students specialist knowledge about how welfare technology, technology development and digitization can be used as aids and enablers in healthcare.
- It is great fun that we have been given this opportunity. This type of competence will be extremely valuable in order for us to be able to make full use of the opportunities digitization offers in the public sector, says Marie Granander, Process Manager at DigitalWell Arena who, together with the University of Applied Sciences in Arvika, created the application, where Scaaler IoT Labs also contributed in the process.
The training lasts one year, has 30 places and takes place mostly remotely. The study rate is 50 percent. Now that permission has been granted, there is another chance to take the course starting in the fall of 2022.
Great interest in running vocational training courses
The competition to organize vocational training was fierce, of the roughly 600 applications submitted to the Vocational Training Authority, only 109 were granted. At this application time, priority was given to training aimed at future needs for skills in digitalisation, automation, energy efficiency and climate change. Most educations were granted in digitization, an estimated 40 percent.
Course start in November
Last date to apply to "Digitization leader in the welfare sector" will be in October, with a tentative course start at the end of November. More information will shortly be available at Arvika Näringslivscentrum's website.
