Transferring professional expertise

Retraining skilled workers
Re-skilling professionals
Redirecting professional skills

Description

Transferring professional expertise involves systematically sharing specialized knowledge, skills, and best practices from experienced individuals or organizations to others lacking such capabilities. This strategy aims to build local capacity, improve performance, and address skill gaps by facilitating training, mentoring, and collaborative projects. Its practical intent is to remedy inefficiencies, accelerate development, and ensure sustainability by empowering recipients to independently apply and adapt expertise to their specific contexts and challenges.

Claim

The choice between re-skilling or accepting low-skill, low-pay jobs is not easy, as the investment in education and upgrading or supplementing of skills will not necessarily guarantee a well-paid job. This segment of the labour market is becoming very competitive in most western market economies and many workers risk to be little rewarded by their efforts to improve their qualifications and learn new, often complicated, skills.
