Summary/Abstract: We have placed our understanding of knowledge society between the conception of seeing it as a real existing society and the conception of the ideal society we strive for. In the context of knowledge society, the responses of education and training to the needs arising from the influence of contemporary characteristics of the world of work have been considered. The analysis shows that, in parallel with the changes in the world of work, there are also changes occurring in education, that is, the creation of education and training inherent in knowledge society occurs through the process of meeting the needs for learning and knowledge.
