The main objective of this paper is to diagnose the effectiveness of the implementation of Lifelong Learning in the needs of the modern labor market. In order to achieve this goal, interviews were held between two Organizations, the Labor Force Employment Organization (OAED) and the International University. OAED’s structure and its connection with education and the labor market were first presented. Subsequently, the concept of Lifelong Learning and the developments on the subject at European level were analyzed, through the Europe 2020 program and the follow-up reports 2017 and 2018. The legislative framework of lifelong learning was also briefly presented, through which incentives are given to operators to implement the programs. The problem of unemployment faced by our country can not be solved through lifelong learning alone. Lifelong learning aims to empower people for social development and widen their skills. The ever-changing socio-economic conditions make it necessary to adapt and empower individuals to cope with this mundane environment and to integrate more easily into the labor market. Modern societies face challenges such as the integration of immigrants, the fight against social inequalities and economic uncertainty. Lifelong learning is called to stand against the social challenges that arise. OAED and the International University are implementing programs that aim at linking knowledge and experience, through Practice Exercise, to labor market needs. Consequently, the role of continuing training is crucial and growing.
