Work-based learning
The special work-linked features of work based learning enable learning to take place at, through – and be centred on – the working environment. By using an actual work role and an organisations’ objectives as the focus for academic enquiry Work Based Learning is uniquely structured to benefit both the individual employee and the employing organisations.
