Continuing Education: Necessary Evil or Recovery Factor

Specificity and the need for continuing education.

Specificity of Training Company

There is no teaching in general, there are only teachers adapted to an audience, a goal.
In particular, adult education is not an extension of what could be the pedagogy applied to these same people when they were on the bench of the school.
For adults, training is not (yet) compulsory. Its membership must first be acquired.
Training often refers to the man engaged in the world of work, he retained the memory of a time because of school selection and even failures, compositions and reviews, notes and sanctions.
Often traumatized in such a system, this man does not want to hear about it and any kind of event in which he might appear in an unfavorable light seems to reach into his modesty and scares away without thought of return.
This leads to a vicious circle where people who have the greatest need for training, spontaneously reject.
The professional development process must necessarily rely on references from adults who are from his work, his experience, which marked its existence, what happened around him, trial it got everything.
But in return, is what this pedagogy might not also be applied successfully with young people?

Need for training throughout life

With the rapid technological development and increasing complexity of control systems and control, it became necessary to maintain and balance the powers of each throughout his professional life.
Yet a review of the state of knowledge in a human brain, shows a balance between the rate of increase of knowledge (learning, experience, training, development) and the rate of loss of knowledge (for obsolescence, senescence, forgetfulness).
Unlike the two houses is not necessarily positive: it is probably during the initial training period where there is actually accumulation of knowledge, but it gradually erodes and can become negative and thus lead to lower knowledge in working life.

Therefore, through the law of 16 July 1971 and its supplements, training has been organized within the Enterprise and thus help maintain the skills and employability.

But we realize that these devices are no longer sufficient. 

It now becomes necessary to be able to give those on the labor market, training to ensure that, throughout their careers, to adapt and maintain their employability. We must introduce new devices providing protected mobility of workers with the triptych: qualification, training and security.
It is the common interest of enterprises and employees.
