Description
This volume considers, rethinks and reorganizes how support for learning across working life
can be best conceptualized, organized and enacted. It considers educational and learning support processes that include approaches that
fit well within working lives and workplaces, and support work and learning as
a co-occurrence. These are the key focuses for individual and collective
contributions to this edited volume, which provide discussions about what
constitutes learning across working lives and how this differs from lifelong
learning and lifelong education. Accounts of learning across the working lives
of social workers, doctors working in hospitals and in general practice,
teaching, aviation, nursing, mining, aged care and more. These accounts advance
a range of ways in which workers' learning across working lives is being
supported and how this support is also linked to other changes, such as to the
occupational practice in which they engage.
