For the Topsector Energie, Dialogic investigated the usefulness of Learning Communities for the energy transition, the obstacles they may or may not experience, tools available for the Learning Communities, and considerations for public policy related to Learning Communities.
In summary, the study shows that the (autonomous) continuity of Learning Communities can hinder collaboration, partly due to challenges regarding financing. It is also still difficult to link proper certificates to the courses offered by Learning Communities. Moreover, the available tools do not always align with the challenges or stage of development of the Learning Communities. In general, it can be stated that involving SMEs in Learning Communities remains challenging, and finding the right balance between the three core activities of learning, working, and development can be complicated.
Based on these results, recommendations have been made for further research on Learning Communities, along with seven specific focal points for policy. Curious about the Topsector Energie's reflection on this study, or the research report itself? Then check out this article.
