This paper investigates whether the labour market measure known as wage subsidies, coupled with lifelong learning, contributes to a more democratic museum. The paper begins with an investigation of the historical and political implications of wage subsidies at the Jamtli county museum in Östersund, Sweden. The paper continues by exploring whether lifelong learning and learning at the workplace contribute to further learning and rehabilitation of the persons employed via such labour market measures. The paper concludes with a discussion of whether lifelong learning and labour market measures can contribute to further preservation and mediation of cultural heritage and, furthermore, whether if they can make museums more democratic and accessible. The research was carried out at Jamtli during the spring of 2010, and is based on qualitative interviews and archival studies in the museum in question.

Foucault, Governmentality, Neoliberalism and Adult Education - Perspective on the Normalization of Social RisksThe article deals with the relevance of the work of Foucault to critical analysis of the political concept of lifelong learning that currently dominates. This concept relates to the field of adult education and learning. The article makes reference to the relatively late incorporation of Foucault's work within andragogy. It shows the relevance of Foucault's concept of a subject situated within power relations where the relation between knowledge and power plays a key role. The analysis of changing relations between knowledge and power will help us to understand important features of neoliberal public policies. The motif of human capital is key. The need to continually adapt to the changing economic and social conditions follows on from the neoliberal interpretation of learning, and the individual is to blame for failure on the labour market or in life generally.

The Elderly

Learning in later life (citizens over 65 or retired) is becoming common. The motivation and interests of the senior citizens to keep learning are mainly personal, they are not job related needs or labour market qualification requirements. These personal aims can be seen from the quality of life (QoL) perspective, where education increases well-being, integration and participation of the elderly in the present society. Institutions dealing with senior learners then face the challenge to provide a socio-educational intervention to senior learners, which has a requirements, needs and motivation different from other adults, and that specific pedagogy, courses and staff qualifications must be considered. From this need the project QEduSen (supported by the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission) produced a guide and a evaluation toolkit

At present, when interaction between civilizations turns to be more and more intensive, integration into world life and universal culture becomes essential for the modern competent citizen. As educators we need to make fundamental changes in the educational system which will enhance the students’ mutual understanding and social integration, develop their intercultural competence and tolerance towards other nations, as well as encourage lifelong learning and freedom of movement. For students to be competitive in the local and international labour market, it is necessary to revise various educational issues, such as aims and objectives of teaching, modernisation and improvement of textbooks and curricula making them less theoretical and more practical. The paper attempts to reveal current crucial problems in the sphere of education and suggests some differentiated approaches to learning.

Post Industrial

In the process of globalisation and integration, human knowledge and skills become outdated or insufficient very quickly. One needs to constantly improve them, as well as acquire new knowledge and skills to be able to fit in with the society and be competitive in the labour market. Lifelong learning is topical both for science and in the practice. In its context, a number of objectives are pursued, which are relevant to all citizens, depending on their age, place of residence, and social status. The objectives meet the interests and abilities of each individual, as well as the needs of economic development. Lifelong learning policies are related to personal fulfilment and determination which provide sustainable competences for work and personal growth. Lifelong learning is an adult education where the students themselves play a major role. In today’s post-industrial era, the responsibility for competitiveness in the labour market is increasing. In the labour market, the main indicator for person’s assessment is professional competence. Professional competence is not just the knowledge; it is skills and responsibility in a particular work situation. This particular work situation can be experienced in practical life, i.e. applying pragmatic approach to learning, however, not all educational institutions can provide it, and not every company is interested in investing in common vocational training. As a result, professionalism is one’s own responsibility, and self-directed informal learning is one of the simplest and most inexpensive ways of how to achieve it.

As the types of skills required on the labour market shift rapidly, individual employees will need to engage in lifelong learning. This is not only to remain employable but to pursue satisfying and rewarding careers that enable them to optimize their job opportunities. Reskilling and upskilling programs would be crucial for businesses if they are to attract the talent they need and lead to socially responsible solutions to the future of jobs. This study has focused to understand the level of awareness the top five Indian IT companies have on Industry 4.0 and what are the practices that they follow to tackle the threat of digitization to their employees. This has been evaluated by studying the learning and development practices, the mission, vision, values of the organization from the homepage of their website and also their annual reports for the year 2018-19. This study would be useful to other organizations in the industry in getting an idea of what are the L&D practices the top five organizations has been doing. The chosen top companies can have a look at the current programs being practised by them and the improvements that can be brought up to upskill and reskill their employees. All organizations chosen for study has been carrying out upskilling or reskilling initiatives along with other learning and development programs. Three organizations have elements of learning inculcated in their core values whereas all five of them have no elements of learning or digitization mentioned in their mission and vision statement.

The article presents the solutions of the Integrated Qualifications System, introduced by the Act on Integrated Qualifications System from 2015. Modernization of the national qualifications system by implementing the Polish Qualification Framework and the Integrated Qualifications Register allows for the gradual integration of various subsectors of the education system in which qualifications are obtained. The Polish Qualifications Framework, as the basis of the Integrated Qualifications System, is a common reference framework for qualifications granted in Poland. The second new instrument of IQS is the Integrated Register of Qualifications containing detailed information about the qualifications included in the IQS, with information on the certification bodies or quality assurance and validation procedures. System solutions introduced by the Act on Integrated Qualifications System make the education system in Poland more coherent and support citizens in lifelong learning and acquiring high-quality qualifications required by the modern labour market.
