Term Workplace Learning
Definition

Workplace Learning is Learning that occurs in, through, or for work, including formal training, coaching, work-based practice, peer support, and informal problem solving.

Context & Usage

Workplace Learning connects adult learning with performance improvement, knowledge transfer, workforce preparation, and organizational capability. In U.S. contexts, compare the term with local adult education, workforce, and credential language before treating it as identical. Some usage is tied to U.S. adult education policy or reporting and should be read in that context.
