Based on a study of promoted innovative set-ups and practices of European enterprises, this paper describes a novel approach to curricula organisation that aims to facilitate and improve the quality and efficiency of in-service training, on-thejob training, and undergoing training provided in a workplace environment of power electronic engineering. The purpose is to ground an educational model suitable for planning optimal training trajectories in the industry context. Effective instruments are given to build the most appropriate professional thesauri for the company staff and to find an institution capable of providing training in such thesauri. Unlike the traditional environment, the proposed flexible curriculum has an exclusively dynamic nature. Any time when the professional level is raised, the curriculum may be changed simultaneously along with its background conceptual matrix. Thus, new disciplines are introduced, the contents of the corresponding disciplines refreshed, and the borders between the disciplines shifted fluently. This promotes designing the teaching modules in highly interdisciplinary areas and in the areas with specific needs.

Basing on a study of promoted innovative set-ups and practices in the industrial European SMEs, this paper describes a novel approach to curricula organisation that aims to facilitate and improve the quality and efficiency of in-service training, on-the-job training, and undergoing training provided in a workplace environment of electronic engineering. The purpose is to ground an educational model suitable for planning optimal training trajectories in the framework of the curricula arrangement in the context of SMEs. The focus concerns reevaluation of the curriculum design along with the strengthen role of e-learning basing on the conceptual models and structures.
