Published
Abstract The wood and furniture industry is at the forefront of achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal, as wood is recognized as a key strategic raw material and the industry therefore has great potential for long-term development. However, we need to ensure that resources are used in a sustainable way, with minimal environmental impact during production and consumption, which can also be achieved through the digitalization of processes. But this digital and sustainable transition will not be possible if employees will not have suitable competences. The aim of this study is to identify key competencies for digital and sustainable transition of the wood and furniture industry. With this aim we formed a focus group of diverse experts who assessed the importance of each competence. Based on the results, we could evaluate which topics and to what extent should be included in the curricula, to equip students and employees in the wood and furniture sector with the necessary competences.
