Workplace Learning: New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education #68With the increasingly rapid rate of change in today's workplace has come an increasing need to establish innovative ways to prepare employees to meet these challenges. Workplace learning is becoming a major force in the initial and ongoing education of today's workers. Increased technology, new management strategies, and reengineered and downsized organizations have caused workplace educators to rethink their craft and formulate answers to the new and immediate business issues faced by their organizations. This volume of New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education is designed to help readers examine current issues surrounding workplace learning programs and incorporate these ideas into their own professional practice. This is the 68th issue in the journal series "New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education." For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page. |
