An active life on the labour market implies, besides the existence of jobs, continuous
education and training of adults. Regardless of age, every person needs new knowledge, which
one can obtain either by self-teaching or by attending training courses. The development of
technology and information influences lifelong learning, which is why, in recent years, greater
emphasis has been put on the education and training of adults. In this respect numerous
Centers of Professional Training of Adults have been established, some of them attracting
their learners through the implementation of projects financed from European funds, which
meant free participation of adults to various courses of specialization, training or
(re)qualification. The article highlights the importance of continuous education and training of
adults related to the economic and social benefits deriving from it. The article analyzes some of
the aspects of continuous education and training of adults that fosters active participation of
adults in the labour market, concluding that, for an active professional life, the establishment
of relationships between employers, employees, trainers and learners is required.
