More adult learning can help Europe overcome the economic crisis, meet the need for new skills, and keep its ageing workforce productive. Learning is also essential for social inclusion and active citizenship.
These days, people cannot just rely on the skills they acquired at school to last them till the end of their working life. The participation of adults in learning varies significantly between EU countries: from 1.4% to 31.6% (2012 ), and the overall trend is that numbers are stagnating. The future European labour market will be simultaneously confronted with an ageing population and shrinking cohorts of young people.
As a result, adults will increasingly be called upon to update and broaden their skills and competences through continuing education. This increased need for lifelong learning means we should have more flexible modes of delivery, tailored training offers and well-established systems of validation of non-formal and informal learning.
Innovation is needed in the European educational sector and especially in the adult education sector, as many adults need new skills and competences.
Inercia Digital wants to improve its European dimension in order to provide more effective experiences and better learning experiences to its students. To do so wants to gain several objectives through enhancing its staff skills and internationalise its organization.
