OECD Skills Strategy Implementation Guidance for Flanders, Belgium
The Faces of Learners in Flanders
This OECD Skills Strategy Implementation Guidance report presents a model for the segmentation of the adult learning population in Flanders, which resulted in the identification of nine representative learner profiles. These profiles provide unique insights into the diversity of factors that affect decisions to participate in learning, including motivation, obstacles to learning, socio-demographic characteristics, and labour market characteristics. These profiles will assist Flanders’ reflections on how to target and tailor existing and new lifelong learning policies to the needs of learners.
Policy implications of the nine adult learner profiles in Flanders, Belgium
This chapter provides advice on how to apply the nine adult learner profiles – as described in Chapter 2 – to improve the targeting and tailoring of adult learning policies. Insights from the nine learner profiles can be used to better evaluate, design and implement policies that effectively respond to the needs of people (i.e. that address their motivations for learning and the obstacles they face). In this chapter, specific policy insights for each of the nine profiles are presented, and general policy implications of the adult learner profiles are described.
