Skill Formation and Globalization

Originally published in 2005. Countries at different stages of social cultural and economic development approach the process of skill formation in different ways. In this enlightening collection Marcus Powell uses empirical evidence to document how different nations formulate their training strategy including how labour market information is used to inform decision making and the role stakeholders play in the process. Drawing on unique practical and research based experience from a variety of authors (all of whom have been employed as senior advisors or consultants to national governments or multilateral donor agencies) it provides unparalleled access to the expertise of key professionals and their knowledge about skill formation.
