This report is about policies that promote or facilitate any adult learning that takes place at, or prepares people for, the workplace:
• Adult learning for the workplace is when adults obtain the skills and competences needed to successfully obtain and keep jobs and progress in their professional careers. So, it can refer to preparatory learning, for instance, taking place in VET institutions.
• Adult learning at the workplace is the learning that adults undertake while working, or while at the workplace. The skills and competences they acquire may not necessarily be those needed for work.
• The workplace in this sense can also function as the ‘outreach strategy’ by which specifc groups of adults are approached with learning programmes.
