Band 1: Enterprise Training in Europe. Comparative Studies on Cultures, Markets and Public Support Initiatives
Jörg Markowitsch, Günter Hefler (Eds.)
Reihe: Studies in Lifelong Learning, Bd. 1, 2008
304 S., 24.90 EUR
Throughout Europe, enterprises invest in Human Resource Development (HRD) and training to cope with the challenges of global competition and to gain momentum in the race for innovation. For their employees, regular work place training provides continuity in Lifelong Learning processes, bridges private learning initiatives, increases job satisfaction and improves employability.
Enterprises' training cultures differ greatly both within and between countries. While best performing enterprises develop comprehensive training cultures, most enterprises have only recently began to take HRD seriously. Differences between countries in average training activities are also important. Until now, little explanation is offered for these differences.
By exploring the European Continuing Vocational Training Survey (CVTS2) and complementary additional surveys and studies, the book provides new insights useful for practitioners (HRD managers, training providers), policy experts and researchers.
Band 2: Patterns of Lifelong Learning. Policy & Practice in an Expanding Europe
John Holford, Sheila Riddell, Elisabet Weedon, Judith Litjens, Guy HannanReihe: Studies in Lifelong Learning Bd. 2, 2009
160 S., 19.90 EUR, br.,
For the European Union, lifelong learning has become a means of achieving both competitiveness and social cohesion in an increasingly knowledge-based and globalised economy. Though the concept of lifelong learning is not new, it now coincides with a period of rapid EU expansion. The research project the book is based on examines how lifelong learning is understood and operationalised, especially in countries within the area of the EU's expansion.
Europe, its policy-makers and peoples, need to know whether lifelong learning can contribute to the construction of a European identity - and if so, how. The research points to the importance of diverse national contexts, which suggests a single model of lifelong learning across the EU is unlikely to be achieved. While the EU may encourage a common policy, and this may generate significant national policy developments, these will be strongly influenced by national context: institutional, political, social, ideological. Many countries will continue - consciously or unconsciously - to '`pick and choose" between different EU priorities
