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.

In theory, adult education and lifelong learning empower and encourage the adult individuals to be flexible to learn throughout life, to gain new skills, even maybe choose to walk a new career path for improved competitiveness on the labor market.
