As in many other western countries, urbanization and globalization has had an impact on the labor market in many rural areas in Sweden, which has led to lost job opportunities and decreased population. In recent years there has been a new wave of industrialisation establishments in the northern parts of Sweden which are now creating thousands of jobs. In this study the company Northvolt in Skellefteå and H2 Green Steel in Boden municipalities are studied. This “re- industrialisation of Norrland” is considered a welcomed focus shift to the northern part of Sweden but it is also creating complex requirements of competence since there is not any large unemployment in these areas. The purpose of the study is to investigate how the private and public sectors work together to meet these needs, with a starting point in sustainable societal development. The study involved semi-structured interviews, two from the industries and three from the municipal organizations. A thematic analysis was used to analyze the result. The results show that the requirement of competence in these organizations are very extensive. The actors work with a wide range of questions, including education, housing, place branding and employer branding, to name a few. Partnership with many and different actors in the society enables the requirement of competence, but the issue is complex and requires in turn a very good partnership at all levels of the society, not just between the industries and municipalities in the study.
