This project aimed to enhance the teaching and learning processes, experiences, and outcomes for learning in the workplace. It involved working closely with Industry Training Organisations and businesses to visit workplaces and carry out case studies, exploring a range of different models of learning currently operating in workplaces. Researchers paid particular attention to different participants and learning arrangements, and highlighted best-practice cases.

The analysis from this project used theories of adult learning and development and workplace learning research, and examined the data against a 21st Century education lens, to see whether and how workplace learning practices and models such as those found in these case studies might advance the overall field of education.
