The first objective of the project was to develop educational materials connected to the Scandinavian Quality Control model. This involved producing educational guides, including guidebooks/PDFs and PowerPoint presentations, aimed primarily at workers in the textile services industry. These materials were designed to help workers understand and meet the requirements of the authorization controls, thereby improving their skills and knowledge. The second objective was to develop a new Scandinavian Quality Control model to update the existing authorization controls in line with new EU requirements and best practices. We aimed to create a common core that could be adapted for local laws and challenges. This included updating the demands in the authorization controls and introducing new methods for data gathering and analysis. By achieving these objectives, we intended to support the professional development of workers, enhance industry standards, and ensure that companies can easily comply with updated regulations, thereby increasing industry credibility and sustainability.

The two participating organizations represent the textile services industry, addressing significant challenges. In Sweden and Denmark, there was a shortage of public and private educational offerings for the sector, forcing each organization to conduct time-consuming and costly on-site training. This often resulted in inconsistent quality, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises lacking professional training materials A key issue was limited opportunities for workers in the textile services sector. In Sweden, about 50 percent of machine operators are migrants, and a third had only completed compulsory education. These workers are trained on the job, making it difficult to transfer skills between organizations and build a career within the industry. The lack of accessible education and training materials hinders their professional development. Additionally, the existing authorization process needed updates to ensure credibility and relevance. Companies often struggled to interpret demands and implement best practices. By developing educational materials alongside updating the authorization process, we aimed to provide clear guidelines and training that would help workers and organizations meet updated standards.
