Balancing the skills equation – Key issues and cha llenges for policy and practice
Autor Geoff Haywarden Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 oct 2004
Governments worldwide assume that national competitiveness can be improved by developing workforce skills. This book critically examines this 'high skills' vision at both policy and practice levels. It challenges an oversimplified policy rhetoric that underestimates the complexity of the processes involved in developing a skilled workforce.

Recenzii
This is a very topical work of high policy relevance that represents an important contribution to the analysis of skills supply. It clearly stands out from the competition. John Field, Division of Academic Innovation and Continuing Education, University of Stirling
... provides an in-depth understanding of many complexities of skills development, which are often over simplified or ignored by policy makers ... the real value of this text is its critical perspective, as well as the range of issues explored that provides a wide spectrum of views on education, learning and training policy.
