In today’s knowledge-based, market-driven, service-oriented society, employability is the key to participating in the processes of value creation and distribution. With its Learning for Life program, the Bertelsmann Stiftung wants to ensure that young people are integrated into the job market as early as possible in their educational careers -- and more successfully than has been the case up until now. It also wants to see to it that mature employees extend their professional lives into their later years by helping them remain productive, healthy, well-qualified members of the workforce. To achieve these outcomes, it is necessary to improve each individual’s employability by providing him or her with optimal educational and career-training opportunities.
