A meeting was held to discuss the findings of case studies examining the role of companies in generating qualifications and the training impact of work organization in Germany, Denmark, Spain, and France. New forms of work organization (NFOT) were identified and examined from the standpoint of sources of organizational change, the main areas of organizational change, changes in the means of coordination, the emergence of new occupational groups/categories, and new career dynamics. Discussed next were conditions for developing/transmitting skills and knowledge within NFOT through "discreet" and "explicit" training strategies and training opportunities afforded by NFOT. The place of NFOT in the social dialogue was analyzed. The following conclusions were drawn: the scope open to"discreet" training schemes seems linked to the nature of initial training systems; the traditional grids used to monitor work are no longer sufficient to grasp the complexity of developments in many cases; the issue of validation and certification of training is fundamental and must be reassessed in view of NFOT; the focal issue at present is that of employment; and publicly funded measures (particularly local measures) can have a strong impact on certain companies' ability to produce organizations that produce skills.
