Kouluttaudaan

Kouluttaudaan is a Finnish verb form that expresses a passive, present action related to the verb kouluttautua. Kouluttautua means to educate or train oneself, typically to acquire new skills or professional qualifications. The form kouluttaudaan is the third-person singular present passive, used to indicate that someone is being trained or that training is being undertaken by unspecified subjects. It appears mainly in formal, written Finnish such as official reports, policy documents, or journalistic prose dealing with education and workforce development; in everyday speech, speakers more commonly use other forms such as kouluttaudutaan or kouluttaudutaan.

In practice, kouluttaudaan emphasizes the ongoing nature of the training process rather than the actor, which is left unspecified. It can be used in impersonal constructions about society, organizations, or sectors. The term is closely related to koulutus (education/training) and kouluttautuminen (the act of training oneself) and exists within the broader concept of lifelong learning and upskilling. The form is relatively rare in everyday language, where more direct active or other passive constructions are often preferred.
