Today this definition does not apply any more only to the world of the company but also more and more to the world of the education. The domain of the training evolves so quickly as all the domains of the economy and the technologies. Indeed, the economy of the knowledge becomes the heart of the socioeconomic dynamics, then new technologies of information and the communication widen considerably the methods, the contents of the training, and the educational relation.

- The training becomes a process continuous, confidentially connected to the very work
- The useful competence is not individual, but collective any more
- It is thus the company, the territory, the organization that become " learners"
