Abstract

The success of global policies and strategies aimed at training for productive work depends to a large extent on the level of development of basic skills among the work force and, likewise, training costs will vary according to the level of general preparation of those entering on the process. In view of the close relationship between the structure of the school system, the development of basic skills and actual training, different options are available for attempting to resolve imbalances between training for productive employment and previous basic education. These range from expanding and upgrading formal education to hiring persons with a low level of education and compensating for their weaknesses through training, with a number of variants that lie somewhere between those two alternatives.
