What qualifications are required in the dynamic change of work, how are they taught?

Technological and organizational change require constant further development of employees' skills. In addition to technical qualifications, interaction and self-management skills are increasingly required. Work design that promotes learning and innovative forms of learning are gaining in importance.

Our research is concerned with the contents, prerequisites and possibilities of participation-based learning arrangements.
