New issues or, of increasing importance, such as quality control and safety and health measures of workers and those that ensure a friendly relationship between the enterprise and the environment are already determining factors for international insertion as a result of the economic restructuring process of the region and the growing international integration markets. This entails the need to design actions that take into account this context: for example, prior and simultaneous training with quality certification processes (ISO 9000), environmental certification (ISO 14000) and the introduction of safety and occupational health measures play a key role.

This volume approaches the challenge of training for work to respond to such demands. The analysis was done based on research carried out in four countries of the region.
