Latvia must ensure the development of a knowledge based, democratic and socially integrated society. The development of competitiveness of Latvian society and the national economy must be ensured. It has been already acknowledged that an effective means for promoting competitiveness is lifelong and lifewide education, therefore enterprises and other various institutions are becoming learning organizations that promote the professional development and competitiveness of their staff in the context of knowledge society in general. The competitiveness of an enterprise to a great extent is dependent on the support and promotion system of the staff competitiveness.
