Learning happens continuously – also when we least expect it. Informal learning through daily tasks is an essential part of the modern working life. But the extent of it depends on what you work with.
The Norwegian Government has funded 7,5 million Norwegian Krones for training for employees in the healthcare sector. Changes and technology development happen very fast in this sector. More and more patients are been supported from the health care service at home, by use of various tools, such as safety alarms, electronic journals, automatic medical injection pumps and GPS. This demands an upskilling of the workforce in the health care sector.
A certificate of apprenticeship could possibly strengthen the employability of many low skilled adults. An objective of the Norwegian Strategy for Skills Policy is therefore to use workplaces as learning arenas even more than before.

This project sets out to discover the extent to which there is an ideal approach for prison staff career management and, in so far as one was found to exist, to identify the elements of that model.

Nobody would write an organisational strategy without having a plan to support those who deliver it. Adult learning professionals are at the heart of supporting the wider workforce but who is responsible for looking after their own development? Over the years I have had the privilege of reviewing any number of lifelong learning strategies and plans across Europe, but very few have a systematic approach to developing the leaders, managers, teachers, and other staff who deliver it.
In an article published in May 2019 in a leading scientific journal “Work, Employment and Society”, Konrad Turek and Kène Henkens from the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute investigated whether the low employability of older people results from age-based stereotypes regarding skills.
Experiential learning is the process of learning through experiences. It is defined as learning by doing and as experienced-based learning. It is a powerful tool for adult learners because they gain concrete experiences and reflect on them by comparing the new experiences with their prior learning. Read this blog post about different perspectives on adult learning and why active participation is beneficial to both adult learners and the community!

The concept of informal learning is becoming more and more important with the spread of digital learning. The informal side of digital learning is also due to the fact that it has started to cover a significant part of the learning experience of the employees. Due to digital informal learning, employees working in the field of learning and development today need to reconsider all approaches.
From the stories we tell each other at lunch to the e-mail we send to help our colleague about the system we use, informal learning has become an important part of every aspect of our lives. However, methods that support informal learning are changing. Informal learning can be realized more effectively as we have increased access to new technologies and adaptability.
