"This publication examines the design and use of individual learning accounts for learning. It is based on the Cedefop seminar, Individual learning accounts: an incentive for financing continuing vocational education and training, which presented research results on financing continuing vocational education and training through such accounts, in Thessaloniki on 31 January 2008. The term individual learning account is in widespread use and is widely understood. Applied in a broad range of schemes, such accounts can serve to increase freedom of choice for individuals, make learning providers more responsive to learner needs and to influence positively attitudes and motivation towards personal development and participation in training. These are just some of the reasons why many EU countries have already tried pilot individual learning accounts. The case studies present various approaches to personal accounts. The conclusions indicate that these schemes can provide a flexible approach to meeting education and training policy objectives." --Ed.
