Abstract	All industrialised countries are increasingly aware that they are called upon to offer their people new and better skills. Firstly, for economic reasons: a well-trained workforce is likely to be more productive and increase national wealth. ... Secondly, for social reasons: skilled workers are less likely to lose their jobs and, while training in itself is no guarantee of employment, some types of training confer the flexibility that enables a person to change jobs and skills more readily. Hence, less unemployment and the attendant social problems. However, for this kind of training to be the norm, Central and Eastern European countries will have to jettison the usual traditional approach. This comprises intensive initial education for young people during the early years of education. ... [Therefore], like many others, these countries want to give people a chance to learn and relearn at different points in their lives. In other words, they want to set up a system and culture of lifelong learning. One of the keys to lifelong learning is continuing vocational training, the subject of this document. Continuing vocational training aims to equip people with new skills to meet the changing demands of the labour market. It provides new openings for those whose skills are in decline and it can give those otherwise excluded from work or learning a chance to learn. This publication covers various issues from the point of view of contributors to continuing vocational training, including the context and aims of this kind of learning, the changing roles of stakeholders, their benefits from training and forms of work-integrated learning. Furthermore, it illustrates the main tasks of government in continuing vocational training and how government can stimulate and regulate continuing vocational training through a new attitude towards all actors concerned and an incentive-based enabling framework.
