Lifelong learning, a phenomenon that characterizes the knowledge economy, is an opportunity to develop the partnerships university - labor market. The advantages of such a collaboration are obvious and mutual. On the one hand, the universities have the chance to access new sources of funding and to adapt curricula to labor market needs, on the other hand the business has the chance to benefit from the trained human resources in accordance with the new concepts, theories and technologies. In order to win the competition on the adult education market it needs to organize and carry out educational activities tailored to the employees and employers' expectations. In this context, the use of e-learning systems can be a solution to overcome the specific difficulties of such an educational process. The present paper describes how it can be designed an e-learning system for the professional development of the hotel managers so as to ensure: development of relevant skills in a relatively short time, flexibility in the organization of educational process, modular curricula, the development of the solid mentoring / tutoring relationships in terms of an educational process remotely conducted. The training system proposed in this paper is a part of the POSDRU project "Simulated Enterprise: A link between school and the labour market". The components of our training system simulate the activity of a hotel in different sectors (management, acoounting, human resources management, marketing), having a training component, as well. Also there is a simulated economic environment made of other enterprises that interact with our system. We want to reveal the educational component of the system, underlining the need for skills development unlike the creation of working automatisms. |
