Abstract

The aim of the paper is to explore the whole wide area of learning for workplace and goes to the beginnings of the recent era in adult education in the Czech Republic, which can be traced back to the revolutionary year of 1989. This discussion is divided into two parts. First, the rather uncontrolled development in the 1990s is briefly summed up. Since the beginning of the new century, the national system of adult education has been marked by the first notes of order, partly thanks to the first results of convergent forces within the European Community and partly to the legislative measures introduced by the government. This was also the time when new company training systems got stabilized and entered a period of new development and new efforts to put through a wider and "more liberal" concept of adult learning at work and in the workplace emerged. The conclusions of the paper recall the broader context of some of the findings of the study.
