What are the defining features of provider structures in the context of continuing professional development?
How is the economic situation within the sector changing?
Project Objective
The WB Monitor plays a key role in training provider research and improving the data available on continuing education. Every year, it provides information on developments within the sector, its organisation, and the range of courses available. Key elements include calculating a ‘climate index’ to indicate the economic situation of continuing education providers, and gathering insights from providers on current topics in continuing education, which change annually. Key topics covered in previous surveys include:
- 2023: The energy crisis and the green transition
- 2022: A changing continuing education market
- 2021: Digital continuing professional development during the Coronavirus Pandemic
- 2020: The impact of the Coronavirus on continuing professional development providers
- 2019: Digitalisation
- 2018: Knowledge Transfer: How Does Science Find Its Way into Practice?
- 2017: Quality management systems in continuing professional development
- 2016: Cultural diversity
- 2015: Public funding for participants' continuing professional development.
- 2014: Recruitment by further education providers
- 2013: Learning Services and New Forms of Provision
- 2011: Continuing education providers in the face of demographic change
- 2010: How is the continuing professional development market regulated?
