Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are three main parts to this report of a study that used case studies to showcase the different approaches used to encourage more continuing training within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the European Union (EU). Section 1 discusses the importance of funding training in SMEs and highlights the various types of funding available. The second section explains how various schemes work in Europe, using case studies from Belgium, Finland, France, Great Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden. Section 3 discusses the case studies in terms of their characteristics and indicators of effectiveness. Conclusions on the effectiveness of funding strategies include the following: (1) there is a need to use one-stop training centers; (2) the smallest enterprises are often the most effective in training; (3) flexibility is key to many of the strategies in terms of prioritizing support for small and very small enterprises; (4) the success of a training effort depends on its promotion; and (5) application and registration procedures should be as simple as possible.

Download or read book Closing the Gap in Education and Technology written by David M. De Ferranti and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental elements to unlocking the potential of technology to speed up economic growth in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are investing in education, opening up new technologies through foreign trade and investment, and encouraging private sector research and development. 'Closing the Gap in Education and Technology' advises Latin American and Caribbean governments to address the region's deficits in skills and technology, and thereby boost productivity, ultimately improving growth prospects. To close this 'productivity gap' in the region, the report calls for a range of policy approaches and strategies, depending on a country's level of development. It identifies three progressive stages in a country's technological evolution -- adoption, adaptation, and creation -- and observes that policies should be designed to address the particular challenges that accompany each stage.In conclusion, 'Closing the Gap in Education and Technology' argues that many countries in the Latin American and Caribbean region have been improving education and social risk management systems so that they are now ready to benefit from the rewards associated with creating stronger trade and technology ties with countries that are more technologically advanced.
