Abstract
Norway's Rogaland Kurs og Kompetansesenter (Rogaland Training and Education Centre), serving the whole of the Rogaland County region, has developed an innovative method of providing vocational training to local industry through the formal education system. The courses offered range from secondary school to postgraduate level. Provision has been enhanced through e-learning based on experiences with the Internet gathered in research projects involving schools, higher education and industry – these projects are described in the paper. The author sees great potential in the model that has been developed for providing vocational training to industry in the region. The main challenges for the future are to make this a generally applicable model, so that it can be used in other regions of Norway, and to encourage cooperation among regions in course delivery.
