Operational Further Training

The term further training describes the entire field of adult learning after the initial training. Vocational further training includes further education, retraining and work study.

Operational further training encompasses both conventional further training measures in the form of courses and seminars and forms of learning acquired through work (coaching, quality circles, Communities of Practice etc.). Informal learning plays an important role in these work-related further training forms.

Technical talks, conventions and other information forums in operational further training should be included, if they are offered by enterprises.
