How can we create an active learning culture?

The labor market is in constant flux. Due to increasing technologization and digitalization, the demands placed on employees and managers are evolving at an ever-faster pace. What do these changes require from us in terms of knowledge and skills? What is the importance of lifelong learning, and how can we collaboratively foster a more active learning culture within organizations? These questions are explored and addressed through applied research conducted in and with (SME) businesses, industry organizations, and educational institutions.

Spotlight on research group

Rapid developments continuously impose new demands on employees and managers. Staying agile and up to date is essential. That is why the research group investigates ways to stimulate a learning culture. To ensure practical applicability, we collaborate with businesses and knowledge partners from the region. In this video, you will see an example of the collaboration between the research group Lifelong Learning, the training advisory office of the social partners in metalworking (OOM), and the SME company ‘Havelaar and Hak’.
