ABSTRACT
Today we stand at the beginning of many changes that are shifting the social, economic, political and cultural conditions of our society. According to Castells (1997), we may say that we live in a new society because it has transformed in many ways. We are experiencing:
• Economic globalization. • Education and training as the foundation to manage change. • The democratization of the access to information and knowledge. • The delocalization of knowledge and the approaching of dis-
tances. • The growth of accumulated knowledge. • New operators in the training market. • An ever more competitive labor market. • The advent of a media culture.
