This article intends to disseminate and further develop basic concepts of in-company and work-related training and learning. It aims both to strengthen organisations' innovativeness and competitiveness and to empower the 'modern' worker. Several decisions will have to be taken, conditions created and (new) attitudes developed by all partners at all decision-making levels. Despite the current short-term focus of most companies' and organisations' behavioural patterns, which generally favour immediate benefits and low-cost approaches, there is an urgent need to promote continuity and sustainability in the medium and longer term if Europe wants to succeed in modernising approaches to training, education and learning on the way to the information society. Such new concepts may substantially contribute to strengthening a wider Europe.
