In the bachelor programs business administration, public administration, business studies and human resource management, an increasing amount of educational resources is being developed and implemented on the theme of lifelong development. It is about stimulating employees to continuously develop themselves in order to remain valuable for work that is fundamentally changing due to technological developments, globalization, new forms of organization and other forms of work relations.

With the goal of collecting, developing and making an up-to-date and coherent collection of open educational resources available about Lifelong Development, the professional community Lifelong Development was created. This community consists of various professors and lecturers from six Universities of Applied Sciences: Saxion, Fontys, de Haagse Hogeschool, HAN, InHolland and Windesheim. The material has been processed into five open online courses, often called MOOCS. The themes of these five open online courses are:

  • Toekomst van werk
  • Vormgeven van loopbanen die uitdagen tot ontwikkeling
  • Stimuleren van leren van kwetsbare medewerkers
  • Teamontwikkeling
  • Leren en ontwikkelen binnen organisaties

Via mooc.saxion.nl you can follow one or more of the open courses. Want to know more about the community? Then check out their website www.vakcommunitylevenlangontwikkelen.nl.
