Workplace basic skills learning


The report „Promoting Adult Learning in the Workplace“ of the ET2020 working group on adult learning 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 specific groups of adults are approached with learning programmes.
This online discussion will focus specifically on the 2nd and 3rd bullet points. Participants will be asked to answer some of the following questions:
- How developed is Workplace Basic Skills Learning in your country or region?
- Can you shortly describe any policy and programs you know, which include this type of offer?
- What are the challenges these programs meet in your country – or would, in your opinion, meet if they existed?
- How can such programs assess their impact?
- How should such programs deal with the challenge of motivating and engaging both learners and company leadership?
- Do you know of any specific policy that targets SMEs for this type of learning program?
- What sort of training of trainers is needed in this field?
- What are in your opinion the main success factors for Workplace Basic Skills Learning?
The online discussion will start at 12:00, 7 October and finish at 17:00, 8 October. The event will be moderated by Graciela Sbertoli. The results of the online discussion will contribute to the elaboration of further outcomes of the Capacity Building Series e.g. the forthcoming MOOC on Workplace basic skills!

Darba pamatprasmju apguve Latvijā
Latvijā par to lielā mērā rūpējas nodarbinātības valsts
aģentūra (http://www.nva.gov.lv/): sniedzot konsultācijas, piedāvājot dažādus
profesionālo prasmju atjaunošanas vai pat iegūšanas iespējas kursu veidā. Aģentūra aktīvi izmanto dažādus ESF finansējuma piedāvājumus. Piemēram,
līdz 2019.gada 7.oktobrim no darba devējiem tika pieņemti pieteikumi ESF projekts
„Atbalsts bezdarbnieku izglītībai”. Tā ir iespēja darba devējiem saņemt
dotāciju, lai sagatavotu vajadzīgos speciālistus, izvēloties un apmācot NVA
reģistrētos bezdarbniekus uzņēmuma vidē. Praktisko apmācību ir iespējams
organizēt profesionālās kompetences apgūšanai, kas atbilst pirmā, otrā vai
trešā profesionālās kvalifikācijas līmeņa profesionālajai kompetencei.
Praktisko apmācību neorganizē nekvalificētos un mazkvalificētos darbos. Vairāk

Workplace basic skills learning: an example from the Netherlands
- Encourage a positive learning culture. Include language and math in the training opportunities for all employees; high and low educated. By normalizing lifelong learning through working on basic skills, more people will dare to take the step.
- Have learning ambassadors share their stories. Have people who have already followed basic skills training share their experiences. As a result, employees will see the added value of this lifelong development.
