| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this research was to understand and identify the industrial knowledge needs in the Leiria Region. This study was developed to help the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria to strategically define their knowledge offer to the industrial market needs. The aim was to identify: a) the qualifications required by individuals from top to bottom in the industry; b) the areas of knowledge required and c) the knowledge required by each professional category. Three hundred and forty-nine questionnaires were collected within the building construction, wood and furniture, moulding, and plastic industries. The results showed that the moulding industry identified the highest need for knowledge. With the exception of Plant managers, Plant workers and Apprentices in the wood and furniture industry that chose technical courses, all the other professional categories in the other industries stated continuous training as the qualification needed. The moulding and the plastic industry showed affinities and both identified the same areas of knowledge for middle managers. | eng |
