Impact of training on people�s employability

[full-text, 72 pages]
Data from national working conditions surveys and other sources reveal
that fixed-term and temporary agency contract holders in the European
Union are at a disadvantage in terms of access to both training and
competence development in companies. A number of relevant indicators in
the surveys highlight this fact. Such national data tend to confirm the
research findings of the European Working Conditions Surveys, carried out
by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working
Conditions in 1990, 1995 and 2000-1, and offer further insights into this
issue. This study examines the issue of training and employability,
focusing on those workers on fixed-term and temporary agency contracts.
Contents include--
Introduction
Training and non-permanent employment
Fixed-term workers
Temporary agency workers
National initiatives and company best practices
Commentary
