The purpose of this study is to present lifelong learning program proposals based on an event or phenomenon that pre-service teachers have experienced. The research is a qualitative study and phenomenology was determined as the research design. The study group consists of 62 pre-service teachers studying at the education faculty of a state university. Criterion sampling method was adopted. 4 demographic (gender, age, department and grade level) questions were asked in order to obtain the program proposals of the pre-service teachers for the lifelong learning needs of the society and the participants were asked to make a lifelong learning program proposal by describing the event or phenomenon they experienced. The data obtained were collected online in the 2020-2021 academic year. No qualitative analysis program was used, and the analyzes were carried out by the researchers. Frequency analysis was done for the lifelong learning programs proposed by the participants and the lifelong learning programs recommended by the participants and the experienced events or phenomena were coded by content analysis. It was seen that computer course (N=7) and farming education (N=7) come to the fore among the lifelong learning programs proposed by the participants. It was determined that the lifelong learning programs proposed by the participants were related to profession, technology, personal development, health and environment, handicrafts, education, law, art and sports. Based on the findings, it can be said that the need for lifelong learning is closely related to the conditions of the society and the environment in which they live.

The European Union has developed many policies, decisions, strategies and projects on lifelong learning and has set some targets, especially in education, employment and competitiveness. Today's technological developments and the effects of these developments on education and employment cannot be ignored. In this study, within the scope of the objectives of lifelong learning in the EU, the technological developments in the EU countries, education and employment indicators and their performances are evaluated and the countries that come to the fore and fall behind are discussed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of EU countries with the CRITIC-based Gray relational analysis method with some technology, education and employment data that are important within the scope of lifelong learning in the digitalized world. In particular, the education variables of individuals at higher education level who are educated with digital skills brought by our age and close to taking part in business life, employment of new graduates, unemployment with advanced education, the share of government expenditures spent on education in GDP, the share of the ICT Sector in GDP, which shows the effects of technology on employment, and the share of ICT experts in total employment. etc. variables are included in the scope of the study. With the help of the variables included in the study, according to the findings of the CRITIC method, it was seen that the most important first five criteria were students enrolled in Higher Education (12,11%), leave education and training early (9.32%), the share of the ICT Sector in GDP (8.38%), highly educated unemployment (8.08%), Total unemployment rate (-7.08%). However, in the Gray Relational Analysis findings using the weights obtained by the CRITIC method, Sweden, Finland, Spain, Denmark, Malta, Germany took the lead in the performance ranking by providing the balance of technology, education and employment, it has been found that countries such as Poland, Latvia, Croatia, and Slovenia are also in the last place.
