believes that people do not just learn in order to work. They learn at work. Learning does not stop when you walk into the office or onto the factory floor. The workplace provides informal learning opportunities that can be captured through reflective practice resulting in the development and sustainability of an effective and productive workforce.

There has been much recent research to suggest that work based learning offers added value for employers and employees

Improved retention Investment in people contributes to them feeling valued in the workplace and can have a positive impact for retaining Staff
Positive work habits and attitudes Staff who feel valued are more likely to display positive work habits and be more productive in the workplace and more competent in their job
Increased staff motivation Leads to improved staff morale and contributes to a feeling of well-being in the workplace

Employee Added Value:
Learning relevant to the job Training provision will be linked to job
descriptions to ensure it is relevant to employees

Increased self worth and personal confidence Research shows that learning new skills will promote self worth and contribute to a feeling of well-being in the work place.
