Lifelong learning
We offer short and long-term training and skills development sectors and companies.
Training as part of lifelong learning
Where a challenge requires skills development in a particular sector, one or more separate training courses will be developed and offered to companies operating in that sector. The training activities will broadly focus on empowering SMEs to embrace leadership, strategies, capacities, learning processes, and marketing that create space for innovation. The university unit that works with this is called LTU Professional Education and will coordinate this part of the center.
MOOC+ Study Circle
As part of Luleå University of Technology's initiative Norrlandsnavet, small and medium-sized companies in northern Sweden are now offered the opportunity for skills development through a new form of education, MOOC+ study circle. The concept is designed to meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises. These courses are completely free of charge for those who are employed by an SME (small or medium-sized enterprise) in Norrland.
MOOC, Massive Open Online Course, is a free digital course that is open to everyone and is completed individually when it suits you. Luleå University of Technology has created MOOCs in a variety of areas.
MOOC+ Study Circle is a developed form where, like a traditional MOOC, you complete the course individually for three weeks, approximately 4 hours/week.
In addition to self-study, you also get to meet other participants online to discuss various elements and insights linked to the course content, like a study circle. Simply put, a course with a plus menu.
The meetings are supervised and moderated by the teacher who created the course.
The meetings are carried out on three to four occasions, in the form of start-up and final webinars, as well as a webinar after each course week. The digital self-studies are held in English, but the meetings are conducted in Swedish.
MOOC+ Study Circle is aimed at employees or managers in small and medium-sized companies in Norrland. You as an employer can choose to let several employees take the course and control whether you carry out all parts together or only the occasions when the teacher is present in real time.
