Abstract: The paper is devoted to the problem of the learning organisations and durability of human capital projects funded by the European Union. It reviews the effects staff training brings to trained employees themselves, the organisation and the community and compares the theoretic concepts with results of the empirical study concerning a selected project at a private-owned higher-education institution. The study was based on self-assessment by the trained employees and verification of data at the institution itself. The authors conclude that the increased skills and new knowledge are a gain for the individuals and society, while the organisation gains not only the skills, but indirectly – good practices and experience above all. The study shows also that direct results for the organisation depend strictly on staff fluctuation but even staff fluctuation does not impair the positive effects of being a learning organisation.
