LEARNING FOR LIFE SYMPOSIUM - 4 APRIL 2024

10-year anniversary of the TU Delft Extension School for Continuing Education

The discourse around the provision of Lifelong Learning (LLL) continues to grow in importance and involves governments, educational institutions, and companies.
It focusses in particular on how such educational offerings can help bridge the skill gaps in the labour market, supporting employability and facilitating access to critical job sectors, such as those linked to our societies transitioning to more sustainable, affordable and equitable practices.

On 4 April 2024, the TU Delft Extension School for Continuing Education celebrates 10 years since its foundation. A decade dedicated to furthering the University’s commitment to the provision of post-initial education in science, design, and engineering to interested learners and working professionals worldwide.

It is an exciting time to reflect on what Learning for Life means now and for the future. To explore together how it can best serve professionals and what challenges and opportunities face educational institutions and their partners in industry and society.

Let’s discuss the way forward!
