AB  - In today′s working life, people need continuous updating and upgrading
of their competence and skills – they need lifelong learning. Lifelong
learning includes development of operational capabilities (which help
one to do the current job better) and strategic capabilities (which
allow one to learn the requirements of future jobs). Operational
capabilities can be improved through company training. Strategic
capabilities require continuous education. That is a task of
universities and other public education providers. However, both must be
linked together. Describes a model for lifelong learning based on
industry‐university co‐operation. It demonstrates how the model can be
implemented through analysing core competences and core employees of
companies based on their business strategies. The competence development
needs of companies are transferred into lifelong learning programmes for
individuals. The roles of employers and universities in the
implementation process are outlined. Highlights a case study based on
the implementation of lifelong learning in Finland.
