Steps of Skills - Creating a lifelong learning organization in the care of the elderly
"Steps for Skills" is a government appointed, multi-year national initiative to support municipalities' long-term quality and skills development in health and social care for older people. The purpose of the Steps for Skills is to improve the internal quality of health and social care. This will be achieved by developing the skills of the staff working close to older people. In the period 2005-2007 a total of more than one billion kronor will be awarded to municipalities that want to enhance staff skills and improve services. Awards will be made on the basis of applications from municipalities. ; Project "Steps for Skills" Swedish Goverment
