Globalisation of the labour market and its implications on the training policy in Slovenia

This paper is taken from the fifth group session on Monday 22 July 2002 at the International Vocational Education and Training Organisation (IVETA) Conference. Globalisation and the restructuring of the labour market have not been met by changes and developments in education and training to increase the employability of people in Slovenia. An increase in services industries and a decline in production industries necessitate workers with higher levels of education. The author makes comparisons between Slovenia, Germany and the USA, and outlines implications of the labour market for the Slovene training policy. More vocational education and training (VET) institutions are required, and better collaboration between education and industry is needed, in order for Slovenia to produce employable graduates.
