O związkach różnorodności oraz kultur uczenia się w świecie pracy

Mobility and migration, an ageing society, as well as new work and life patterns, are exerting a fundamental impact on German society and, in particular, on professional life. Due to the forces of globalisation and internationalisation public institutions and companies are being confronted with a diverse working population. At the same time, the question arises about how employability is shaped by modernisation processes and the resulting transformation of capitalist working structures with some far-reaching consequences on professional lives. Public institutions and companies thus face the challenge of how to handle diversity. How can learning cultures profit from diversity? Which strategies and what conditions/frameworks are needed to promote diversity and individuality in a way that grants maximum access to education and professional life for all? And what happens if the diversity-aspect is not appreciated sufficiently? This article tackles these questions by attending to current developments in the context of the internationalisation of job markets as well as diversity management. It explains how diversity-sensitive learning cultures should be organised to meet the new requirements for education, learning and qualification.
