Title of the contract: Learning for career and labour market transitions – individual biographies
Based on qualitative individual biographies, the study will investigate how learning can support workers’ transition on the labour market. It will generate a deeper understanding of the multiple dimensions underlying individual approaches to career transitions and learning. It will contribute to the development of a comprehensive model that will accommodate the different ways in which learning can support labour market transitions. This model will be used to inform Cedefop’s research agenda on the topic of how adult and work-based learning can help people to better manage careers and working-life transitions, to set the stage for future analyses, and to pave the way for policy recommendations .
