Skill development in a cooperative way refers to the collective effort of a group of people, typically a cooperative, to provide training and support for the development of skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a particular industry or profession.

Cooperative skill development involves the collaboration of stakeholders, including workers, employers, educational institutions, and government agencies, to create a shared vision for the development of skills and knowledge needed in the workforce.

The goal of cooperative skill development is to provide individuals with the training and support they need to succeed in their careers, while also promoting the competitiveness of the workforce and the well-being of communities.

Through cooperative skill development, individuals can work together to access training and support that is relevant to their careers, as well as share resources and expertise. Additionally, cooperative skill development can help to promote the development of new skills and knowledge needed in a rapidly changing economy and support the development of healthy and liveable communities.

Cooperative skill development initiatives can be found in many countries and are often organized on a local or regional basis, serving the specific needs of the communities they serve
