Labour Efficiency of Tertiary Adult Education
The aim of the project is to examine the strategies and programmes of higher education institutions in the context of tertiary lifelong learning (TLL) with regard to their relevance for labour markets.
A distinction is made between the individual competence development of participants (learner perspective) and the increase in performance in the work process (company perspective). At the core of the project is a comparative study (in Germany, Spain, Finland, the Czech Republic, Scotland and Turkey) of the potential of universities’ activities in the field of TLL in relation to both perspectives, while also taking into account the obstacles that hamper further development or quality improvement. A further focus of the project is the analysis of the respective approaches to integrating non-traditional (vocationally qualified) students.
