Programme

Business is not only an economic player, a consumer of human resources, but it is also an actor in the economy and in the society, taking on key roles in people’s personal development and their pathway through life and in the dynamics of their environment. Lifelong Learning is an important stake for business because training strategies are negotiated, implemented and put in practice within firms.

The objective of the Neuchâtel session will be to examine the contribution of the business sector to Life Long Learning. Work will be based on initial and continuing education or training as designed in the prospect of "Life Long Learning" (LLL) and will put the business sector and the firm at the centre-stage. The aim will be to identify, analyse and question the diversity of practices and to open the debate as to how the personal pathway fits into business strategies with specific audiences (representatives from the public authorities and politicians, trainers and researchers, actors on the ground, businesses, professional associations and social partners).

The Summer University 2011 will therefore be part of the European 2020 Strategy, the challenges and broad outlines of which will find a place at the heart of the general programme and in particular in the symposiums : What is the role of the European instruments expected by businesses? And, in particular, how does it use the validation systems for qualifications acquired in a non-formal manner? Which impact for the national and European qualifications frameworks? What place for mobility in business training plans?
