Metso has at its disposal great deal of top expertise of various fields. As an expert organization, Metso invests strongly in competence development and continuous learning. Far-reaching customer cooperation corresponding to Metso Future Care business concept requires also new types of competencies.

Metso’s vision emphasizes the role of competence in developing the company. Metso has at its disposal a great deal of continuously developing top expertise in its basic business operations, but from the point of view of Metso Future Care business concept, more experts are still needed. Co-operation with the customers can be continually deepened only through new skills and competencies. At the same time, the achieved top expertise has to be maintained at the very peak of progress. Training new top experts for a large company is a slow change process and for this reason Metso has undertaken a systematic definition process involving future requirements of skills and competencies.
