This first report in the ESRC Learning Society series examines the
key processes of learning, as embedded in particular workplaces, in
organisational structures and in specific social practices. Why is
learning suddenly so important? How can the quality of learning at
work be improved? Instead of extolling the 'joys' of learning, the
authors explore the conflicts and barriers which organisations run
into (or create for themselves), even when they are trying to
promote greater learning among staff. Its strong comparative
dimension is illustrated in the discussion of, for example, the
construction industry in Wales which is compared with its
counterpart in Germany. The importance of this edited collection is
that it will help to transform fashionable phrases such as 'the
learning organisation' or 'lifelong learning' into practical ideas
and methods which could enhance the quality of learning in British
firms. Learning at work is important reading for managers in
Industry and Commerce, for TECs/LECs, Trade Unions and Chambers of
Commerce, for policy makers in the Department for Education and
Employment, for politicians, voluntary organisations and academics
specialising in the interactions between employment, training and
education, and for all those practitioners in firms, Colleges of
Further Education and training providers who are promoting lifelong
learning.
