Abstract

In this article the author discusses three workplace learning paradigms which can be used by both employees and employers to guide the learning necessary to keep the workforce competitive in today’s markets. As a way to operationalize the expectations of these paradigms, portfolios are discussed as a helpful technique to document employees’past learning and to guide their future learning. Further, prior learning assessment recognition is discussed as a way for employers to give recognition to the workplace learning accomplished by employees. The author outlines the essential features, functions and components of portfolios, some non-traditional methods to engage in workplace learning, and describes prior learning assessment recognition and the issues around its use.
