Sažetak

The paper addresses the issue of lifelong learning in the case of the Croatian Employment Service (Regional Office in Osijek) Training Program.
The unemployed are an especially vulnerable group in the society and lifelong learning represents an opportunity for increasing employability. The research was carried out using a survey questionnaire on a convenience sample of 86 participants. The results have shown that Training Programs equally include qualified and working-age adults of all age groups, but predominantly
men (63%) and mainly with a high-school education (58%); the
majority did not seek additional training or further education following their formal one (76%) and have mostly been unemployed for five years (70%). On average, they are satisfied with the Training Programs. It was not possible to verify whether the participants inquire into the Training Programs differently
according to their age nor whether they differ with respect to the problems they encounter pertaining to their age, sex and level of education. The younger participants were shown to be more likely to attend a training program in the future (75% of them). The results of the research may serve as pointers for a better understanding of the motivation for participating in various adult education programs as well as for the creation thereof.
