Effects of an Innovative Learning Culture on the Competences of Learners

Abstract

Competence demands for employees in the ICT sector have increased and new job profiles have been necessary, especially in the telecommunications industry. New competence requests challenge conventional qualifications and learning pathways, such as the apprenticeship route in Switzerland. For management the challenge is not only to change structural conditions of vocational learning at the workplace, but also attitudes, beliefs, and values regarding the ways in which apprentices are treated, the ways in which communication takes place, tasks are distributed, or expectations are expressed that require a transformation. The chapter introduces an enterprise case study. It elaborates on aspects, such as structural conditions for an innovative learning culture and measures for competence development, such as supporting agility, a trustful communication at eye level, as well as the flexibility in offering guidance.
