1 IntroductionAccording to OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), people are constantly learning everywhere and at all times. Every day in everyone's life brings additional skills, knowledge and/or competences [1]. Nowadays, information is present in every place and is easier to access it as never before.Lifelong learning (LLL) is a process in which every human being should be involved because this means health, youth and more important, sharper mental abilities that help people to cope and adapt easily to modern times. Adults have to understand they have an obligation to themselves to continue learning throughout their whole life. The world is changing so quickly that if we do not consider LLL and we do not keep growing and developing, we will soon be left behind [2].On the other hand, change is life and we cannot do much to control this so we have to adapt and deal with the growing speed of the technology. People are increasingly interested in cultivating their virtual social relationships and the social networking websites provide proper platform to express themselves. These websites give the chance to meet new people and establish new virtual relationships and connections with access to multiple source information [3].The social network is a theoretical construct useful in the social sciences to study relationships between individuals, groups, organizations, or even entire societies. The term is used to describe a social structure determined by such interactions. The ties through which any given social unit connects represent the convergence of the various social contacts of that unit [4]. You can make the lifelong learning experience more engaging and enjoyable for your audience by integrating social networks into the process. Encourage them to have access to like-minded individuals on social networks sites or even create an internal social network that brings together all people with the same interest. The scope is to have the chance to be surrounded by other online lifelong learners and to be able to collaborate and share learning passion [5]. From an educational perspective, online social networking has become also a learning practice for university students since they occupy a large proportion of the total population of social networking websites. We all can observe that social networking takes most of young people's time and it is deeply embedded in their lives. Social networking is more likely to become self-initiated learning, which can lead to lifelong learning, in which individuals create a system of information and support it by building and sharing personal links. In this way, people can interact with their peers and get feedback and thus improve their performance [3]. The question regarding social networking in education is: What impact can social networks have on students learning?This model is prone to be taken as example by multinational IT companies which invest in hiring more and more students since they come with the latest technology knowledge. In most cases, the social network is hosted on the company Intranet and there can be added news about events or conferences but also workshops and technical courses. Moreover, they want their senior employees to share their experience with junior employees in a responsible, clear but friendly way and what can be friendlier than an environment with which students are already used to, social networking?The purpose of this article is to analyze the relation between LLL and social networks within the employees of several companies in Bucharest, Romania. More specifically, this article is focused on showing the popularity of social networks, how the multinational employees feel about them, the effect they have at company level from the learning point of view and also its connection with alternative or modern way of learning.2Literature reviewIt is widely known that we live in a world where technology is influencing our lives. …
