Global Learning in the Workplace: A Cross-Country Multi-Level Analysis
Local and global social inequalities, climate change, species extinction, plastic pollution, pandemics – the crises of our time make it clear that a transformation is needed in various areas, including education. Any form of education should equip young people with skills to deal with relevant tensions and responsibilities of individual stakeholders. Concepts such as Global Learning, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship Education (GCE) address how to contribute to global sustainable development and fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a holistic global understanding. Global Learning is considered one of the key abilities of the 21st century (Scheunpflug, 2022, p. 10). While Global Learning has already been subject to research in the general education school context, in volunteer work settings, and in higher education (e.g., Anderberg et al., 2009; Hunt, 2020; Richter, 2018), there is a lack of information on Global Learning in Vocational Education and Training (VET). Nevertheless, organizations increasingly must provide learning opportunities at the workplace to be successful in today’s ‘war for talent’ (Baert, 2018, p. 154). This is the starting point of my dissertation, which will shed light on company’s Global Learning activities and employee’s informal Global Learning behavior.
As a result, strategies and profiles with regard to Global Learning in companies are identified from both a corporate and an individual perspective, and the environment in which companies and individuals operate is defined. The dissertation provides valuable insights into lifelong learning in times of increasing shortage of skilled workers and migration movements in a globalized world.
