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.
