Workplace Learning
The UK’s success in the global market depends on the skills of its workforce but despite ongoing Government support for learning in the workplace, there remains a significant gulf between policy and practice. What are the issues causing this divide and how can these be addressed?
Workplace learning should give employers a more efficient workforce plus an edge in the market and employees additional qualifications through which to develop their career. Why then has it been so difficult to establish a learning culture in the UK workplace?
The reasons are complex and this section aims to give insight into the current issues and conflicting interests surrounding workplace learning and suggestions for ways forward. It sets the context with an outline of recent Government activity to increase investment in skills and, through summaries of recent research and discussion, offers an overview of current theory and practice.
