[Overcoming age barriers in occupational life--problem field regarding qualifications].
First, an overview of current employment trends and training problems of older workers is given. Initiatives by selected companies and employment organizations then give an indication of the range of"good practice" which already exists to train older workers at work. An individual case study provides a more detailed insight into why such schemes are developed and which approaches are adopted. Finally, conclusions are drawn from both the organizational descriptions and empirical research and recommendations on how to improve the training situation of older workers are given.
