Lifelong learning

As a professional or association in lifelong learning, you are operating in a sector with a bright future. There is a global realisation that lifelong learning will play a key role in the labour market of tomorrow. Rather than stopping this evolution, the coronavirus crisis has only reinforced it. Flanders is fully committed to lifelong learning.

Technology, increasing individualisation, flexibility, broader and more varied labour relations, "uberisation" and active ageing redraw careers and working relationships. This evolution requires us to think differently about jobs and careers. This process is in full swing in Flanders, making Lifelong Learning a priority in Flanders.
