Klar til Energi­ø Bornholm – Supplerende erhvervs- og arbejdsmarkedsanalyser

Som led i at gøre Bornholm klar til Energi­ø er der gennemført en række konsulentanalyser, der har haft til formål at beskrive nogle af de forventede effekter af de kommende energi­ø-investeringer på Bornholm. Der forventes en især en øgning af beskæftigelse inden for: Bygge- og anlægssektor, Maskinindustri, Jern- og metal, Transport og godshåndtering, Operativ erhvervsservice, Detailhandel samt Restauration og catering. Inden for disse brancher er der allerede i dag mangel på kvalificeret arbejdskraft. Derfor anses det for sandsynligt, at en stor del af de nye beskæftigede vil skulle tiltrækkes fra det øvrige land og fra udlandet. Analysen skal skabe et overblik over, hvor de eksisterende bornholmske virksomheder indenfor hver af ovennævnte brancher står i forhold til udvikling af Energi­ø Bornholm, og deres muligheder for at byde ind på kommende opgaver. Analysen skal have fokus på virksomhedernes evne til at indgå på et meget konkurrencepræget marked med særligt fokus på at fastholde og tiltrække kvalificeret arbejdskraft. Endvidere skal analysen indeholde konkrete forslag til, hvorledes virksomhederne kan understøttes indenfor de pågældende brancher i at blive klar til de kommende opgaver.

Lejeboliger på landet – inspirationskatalog

Nærværende inspirationskatalog præsenterer projektet ’Lejeboliger på landet’. Kataloget tager afsæt i et grundigt analysearbejde foretaget fra januar 2022 – februar 2023. Der er i perioden foretaget dybdegående desk research for at afdække de muligheder og barrierer for lejeboliger på landet, som litteraturen på området anviser. Derudover er der afholdt kvalitative interviews med over 20 eksperter på området, som hver især har bidraget med deres interesser, holdninger og perspektiver til, hvordan vi skaber bedre betingelser for nye attraktive lejeboliger i landdistrikterne.

Projektet er udført i et samarbejde mellem Landdistrikternes Fællesråd og Hele Landet – Sociale Arkitekter med finansiering fra Kirkeministeriets Landdistrikts­pulje
