Learning and Competence Development in Europe for tomorrow and beyond - Sestri Levante, Italy - July 16th

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 11:35:09 +0100

At a time of increasing economic insecurity and the emergence of a knowledge society comes the need for employees and individuals to continuously develop and extend their knowledge and skills set regardless of age, social status or situation.

Effective support for individual learners, teams and organizations in their pursuit of competence development is key to retaining a competitive edge. The TENCompetence project has responded to the need to facilitate professional lifelong learning and competence development through the design and development of an organizational and technical infrastructure.
