Abstract

A new model for in-service training in Spain: an outline after a year of changesSalto de línea Salto de línea In-service training education in Spain has experienced a decisive growth in the latest decade, since the signing of the National Agreement for in-service training Education, which ruled that public resources should be allocated to the funding of lifelong training to workers. In recent years there has been a change in the model followed and public aids for lifelong learning have been approached differently, moving from a «subsidy» to a «bonus» model. In this article the wise decisions and the mistakes of the first model are analysed, and the main changes and consequences that the current model is likely to bring along are anticipated. These analyses come in the context of a wider research work focused on the «Position of lifelong education in Spain» which, using a qualitative approach, describes the features and main challenges in our country for training «at» and «for» work.
