Abstract

This article offers an examination of the problems relating to the characteristics of the state and organizational development of the education and professional training of employees in the Slovene economy, while also including and using the trends and development experiences from the more developed European countries. The findings, which are based on empirical research, concern the organization, needs and present condition, as well as the formation of developmental structures and models which, in the field of the further education and training of employees, require a transformation of the economy. This research, recently completed by the Slovenian Androgogical Centre, comprised a representative sample of companies, and made use of several methods and approaches for investigation and constatation.
