<strong>Special</strong> EUROBAROMETER 273 “European Social Reality” Report<br />

1.5.5 Career progression<br />

We saw earlier that 4 out of 10 European workers find that their job offers good<br />

prospects for career advancement. But in order to progress in their career do workers<br />

find that their education and training to date sufficient or do they feel they should<br />

follow more training 29 ?<br />

Close to half of the respondents currently working is of the view that in order to further<br />

progress in their careers they do not need further education or training (48%).<br />

However, nearly as many European workers feel that they need further specialised<br />

training: 21% intend on doing this but 25% can not currently follow a more specialised<br />

training.<br />

Views between those who find their job offers good prospects for career advancement<br />

and those who disagree only differ in what they intend to do: Those with good career<br />

prospects are more likely to intend to follow a more specialised training (26% vs.<br />

17%) whereas those who don’t feel their job offers good career prospects are more<br />

inclined to feel that even though they should follow a specialised training they<br />

currently cannot do so (28% vs. 22%).<br />

Concerning yourself, do you think that in order to<br />

progress in your career …?<br />
