No 28 (2025): Job transformations. What can training do?
Special Issue Edited by Ioana Boancă and Emmanuel Triby.
Although longstanding, the issue of occupational transformations has gained renewed relevance with the “urgency” of the convergence of demographic, sociotechnical, and climatic transitions, as well as the necessary “ecologization of jobs and skills.” These transformations can be approached in several ways, which may overlap or intersect: the emergence of new occupations, the recomposition of functions within existing ones, the reorganization of working conditions, or more subtle evolutions linked to long-term social changes, among others.
This issue highlights the importance of understanding the knowledge and skills at stake, as well as the tensions between institutional, collective, and individual norms that are redefining professional activities. At the core lies the question of the role that education and training can play in fostering forms of learning capable of supporting these transformations in all their diversity.
