Økonomisk støtte til kompetansetiltak - Kompetanseløft Trøndersk Landbruk

Kompetanseløft Trøndersk Landbruk (KTL) offers financial support for competence development activities for farmers and forest owners in Trøndelag region. The program is a 3-year project owned by Nord- and Sør-Trøndelag Bondelag, ALLSKOG, Fylkeskommunen and Fylkesmannen. The goal is to increase the competitiveness of Trøndelag agriculture through increased knowledge and competence. KTL provides grants for four types of competence development activities: experience groups (erfaringsgrupper) - fixed groups of farmers/forest owners meeting regularly to discuss professional topics and learn from each other; peer learning (kollegalæring) - groups administered by organizations where participants learn through discussions and study visits; mentoring arrangements (mentorordning) - formal agreements between farmers for guidance and advice; and professional training (fagopplæring) - organized by local agricultural associations with external speakers and study tours. The support is provided with a 12-month work deadline.
