Building competences in Greenland's society
We will work to motivate employees and young people in Greenland’s local communities to enrol for education programmes
Royal Greenland is dedicated to contributing to building up competence in our society by offering trainees and apprentices practical training positions under short-, intermediate- and long-cycle higher education.
Sustainable Development Goal no. 4 concerns creating equal opportunities for education, and education of high quality. At Royal Greenland, we convert this Sustainable Development Goal into a wish for far more education for those with the least education. We also wish to continue to upgrade the qualifications of our managers internally, and to support apprentices, trainees and students to a greater extent than before.
Risks and opportunities
The Group has a great need for many skilled employees at all levels and within many professions, but a lack of training and expertise can present both a financial and professional risk for the company.
