being removed, leaving more workers responsible for their own development.“having workers take responsibility for their own development might be dramatic, but it is now the rule，” says the educational and training support agency.“today, not only are workers more mobile, they have to run to keep up with changes，” says the governmentfounded agency. “it is no longer enough for a worker to gain a set of skills. workers need the ability to react and get used to changes.” this new system is also being pushed along by the way that industry is looking to its workers to renew their own skills. in the
