Objective
Europe has a particular problem with the recruiting and qualification of production. In particular the breaking up of internal company hierarchies, which reduce traditional access to management positions, question the efficacy of traditional forms of lifelong learning in favour of a "side entry" of highly qualified entrants to the profession. At the same time new jobs must be found for those who cannot keep their managerial positions, reinforcing firms' social responsibility.
The project will first analyse, in the fields of mechanical engineering and the chemical industry, new methods of personnel recruitment and of acquiring specialist and social management skills for production managers. Here it will be particularly important to determine the background and consequences of replacement by "side entrants." Secondly, innovative methods of acquiring new qualifications, integrated into the work process and the career pattern will be investigated for those managers who lose their leading position in production. Important to these are "bridging learning processes," which to a considerable extent are based on learning in the workplace and in the work process. The identification of the argument that argues for keeping the traditional ascent and against the generalisation of side entry, strengthens the relative attractiveness of vocational training as compared to university education, as it keeps promotion paths open for vocationally qualified specialist employees.
Impact
The results of the investigation should improve the quality and innovation of existing national vocational training systems and strengthen the esteem in which vocational training is held. In addition it should provide information on socially responsible methods of reducing hierarchical structures in companies and so ease economic and social change.
