Sitep and ViteMeir enters into a collaboration to engage children and young people in technology

We will work purposefully to make children and young people curious about educational choices within technology.

- This letter of intent lays the foundation for further collaboration to create engagement among children and young people around the challenges society in general, and not least Sogn og Fjordane, has in meeting the need for technological competence that will come in the future, says project manager for ViteMeir , Marianne Jevnaker. The business community is clear that recruitment is needed in technology and that young people must be motivated to seek education in technological fields.

ViteMeir and Sitep already has several ideas for how they will contribute to this.

- There are several areas of focus we want to look at, says Sitep CEO Frank Øvstetun. Among other things, it will be relevant to collaborate on inspiring girls to choose study fields within technology by offering facilities and meeting places where they can gain practical “hands-on” experience with technological equipment. In the long term, we will also look at opportunities to create collaborative projects on various activities and offerings related to technology.

ViteMeir Looking forward to an exciting and professionally educational collaboration with Sitep in the future!
