FRESH PROJECT RESULTS AVAILABLE

FRESH started in 2017 and finishes now in 2020, with important results that have proposed an innovative approach for addressing skill mismatches through HRM.

FRESH’s main aim is the reduction of skill mismatches in the agri-food industry. The objectives of the project are to strengthen competitiveness of EU agri-food small firms and reduce the apparent skill mismatches  by strengthening lifelong learning on strategic HRM in small enterprises of the agri-food sector, specifically addressed to HR managers with no or little training on HRM.

The impact made has already helped small businesses culture move towards a stronger commitment with HRM, implying among other changes, a decided engagement with lifelong learning of staff.
