Abstract
This simplified review paper focuses on showing a roadmap of how separate but planned efforts can constitute totally new modes of worklife ability, centered on a university-level educational and developmental cooperation between academic life and business life, between private and public actors. The globalization of work life requires the education to be provided in a proactive, practical, multidisciplinary networked school of worklife ability that offers guidance and supports a holistic approach to development. Cooperation and interaction in this context mean that the subjects and ideas for research and training arise naturally from practical work life; by means of analyses and harmonisation, practical experiences, work, everyday life at workplaces, and identified needs are refined into both new worklife abilities and material for theoretical work. All such things are included in the pursuit of mastering work-life-ability-related issues from the very first manoeuvre all the way to a unique internationally operating network.
