Qualification plays an important role for the quality of employment in several respects. A good occupational qualification serves to find work easier. In most cases, qualified work is better paid and it is typically in an area with a lower accident or health risk.
A higher qualified job is also often connected with a higher job satisfaction. If the demands of a job do not fit with the qualification of the employed person, this can also lead to dissatisfaction and frustration due to overburdening or underchallenging demands.
Continuing training makes sure that the formal qualification that a person has achieved can keep up with changing demands for the job. Lifelong learning in a time of increasingly rapid knowledge change plays a more and more important role.
