Participation in the employment market, the acquisition of basic skills, and access to professional further training constitute a special challenge for the low qualified. Lifelong learning must be made possible for educationally disadvantaged groups as well. Company-run and external further training programmes must be organised in such manner that they are professionally and pedagogically tailored to this group´s particular needs. How can the participation of educationally disadvantaged target groups in professional / company-run further training programmes be enhanced? And what opportunities are there for linking company-run and external professional training with citizenship education offerings? Brief expert talks will alternate with practice-based presentations during the workshop.
