Combining Learning and Working: regional task with national support


Why enforcing Life Long Learning?

• In 2010 Europe wants to be the top economy of the world

• In 2010 the Netherlands want to be in the top 3 of Europe

• Social Inclusion: empower everybody


What are the goals?

• Going from 16,4% to at least 20% education for adults

• From 73% to 80 % of total employees with start qualification

• In 2004 20-30% more higher educated people


A lot has been done…

• Local and regional initiatives, focussed on youth and jobseekers

• Taskforce jeugdwerkloosheid (unemployed youth)

• Courses and education within organisations• 3,5 billion is spend by the government on adult

education


But still…

• 25% of working population without start qualification

• 250.000 illiterates and 1 million people with language and mathematical problems

• Shortage of higher educated people


What should be done?

• More attention for learning of working people and jobseekers

• Making Life Long Learning possible for everyone

• Platform: learning from each other, use Good Practices
