Matís and Landsmennt, the educational fund of the Confederation of Icelandic Employers and workers in rural areas, recently signed a letter of intent for increased co-operation between them.
Matís has extensive experience and knowledge that grows every day and the company's goal is to disseminate that knowledge to the industry through seminars and retraining of employees of food companies. In this way, Matís intends to promote increased knowledge building within the business community, which can increase the companies' profitability and employee satisfaction at work.
Landsmennt is an educational fund for the Confederation of Icelandic Employers and workers in rural areas. There are 21 member associations, which are trade unions within the Icelandic Confederation of Trade Unions. Landsmenntar's main tasks are to carry out support projects and development and incentive measures in vocational education. The fund is intended to strengthen the operation of courses and promote innovations in curriculum development, as well as provide individuals, trade unions and companies with direct grants for continuing and re-education.
With the aim of ensuring the supply of professional courses and general retraining of employees, Landsmennt will subsidize courses under the auspices of Matís for general employees of food companies.
The signatories declare that they intend to increase their co-operation and strive to offer companies and their employees the acquisition of knowledge that suits each individual's needs.
