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 />
