Cooperation with hospitality industry in Sweden

Patrick Ärlemalm, Directing manager at Amledo & Co AB starts cooperation with the Hotel and Restaurant Workers’ Union. The hospitality industry is one of the largest industries and it is growing faster than GDP. It is expected to double its turnover over the next ten-year period. The competence requirements in hotels and restaurants are increasing sharply. One of the most important challenges for the future is how the industry should attract, recruit and retain the best skills.  A reduced skills gap increases competitiveness and growth opportunities for the industry that can contribute to the necessary structural changes needed. The Hotel and Restaurant Workers’ Union is one of the organizations in the Education and Traning Council for Hotels and Restaurants, which also includes the Hotel and Restaurant employer organization.
