10 April, 2007IMF publishes report on lifelong learning.
GENEVA: In Organising the Unorganised: Career Development and Lifelong Learning the IMF publishes a series of presentations and reports given at a seminar on this issue held in Paris on October 24-25, 2006.
Lifelong learning is fundamental to empowering workers in the knowledge-based economy and in facilitating their career development. The reports at the seminar looked at developments and current practices in various countries and examined the way in which unions have been advancing lifelong learning on the bargaining agenda.
Mari-Ann Kranz, Sif general secretary and president of the IMF non-manual workers department, said that adopting new perspectives, like the lifelong learning, is crucial when it comes to organizing new members.
“Unions have an increasingly important role to play when it comes to supporting members in their professional career. To me the meeting in Paris showed the vitality and creativeness among the IMF-affiliated unions around the world," she said.
The IMF publication is available in English and French and is available for downloading under "Publications" on the IMF website.
