Learning, knowledge transfer and competence development in forestry operations small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs)

Kurzfassung in Englisch

The topic of this report (part of the project COMFOR) is the field of competence development and knowledge transfer in the forestry operations sector, especially with regard to occupational safety and health in small and medium enterprises (forestry contractors). After discussing various approaches on learning, education and knowledge transfer, focusing on different modes of learning (formal, non-formal, informal), the state of education and training for forestry contractors in three different regions (Northern Europe, West Central Europe, East Central Europe) is analyzed. Six main barriers reducing training attendance by forestry contractors and their employees are identified, and different strategies to overcome these barriers are discussed. The report comes to the conclusion, that the “channels” for successful “knowledge transfer” should be compatible with the contractors’ learning culture and the situational context, e.g. focusing on the actual benefits and employing “hands-on” modes of exchange of knowledge. These conclusions are then discussed in regard to the “tools” developed in the COMFOR project.
