Recenzje

"Understanding Global Skills for 21st Century Professions is a well-researched study that will assist anyone interested in the origins, dimensions and potential directions of the 21st Century skills debate, particularly as concerns the needs and challenges of the market place. I would recommend it for policy makers and for those responsible for workplace training programmes." (Conrad Hughes, Journal of Research in International Education, July 18, 2019)
