" Among Småland's 33 municipalities, Hultsfred is one of only nine that has a learning center.
The exact number of people using the Hultsfred learning center annually is not known. Mikael Karlsson (C), the municipal councilor, emphasized the center's importance, saying, "The learning center makes it easier for municipal residents, especially for people in middle age and in rural areas, to educate themselves. " He added that the investment in the learning center is important for the municipality's skills supply.
It is a privilege to live in a small town in the countryside and still be able to take a university education without leaving home, family, and friends.
The specific companies in Hultsfred demanding these skills have not been identified.
The learning center makes it easier for municipal residents, especially for people in middle age and in rural areas, to educate themselves. It is also crucial to develop the skills that our companies demand, so that they can continue to operate and develop in the municipality.
