Workplace Learning

Reading a lot about workplace learning it made me realize how much we need to work harder and smarter to prepare for the future. Everyday we hear about how different countries are just absolutely surpassing us in every way possible and we are quickly falling behind in just about every category. Workplace learning is no different, with our economy crumbling before our eyes it is essential that we continue workplace learning in our designated workplace.
I know at my current place of work, we rely heavily on workplace learning. All the way from learning to basics to the expert stuff of other departments, we have to be ready for anything regardless of what we learned in school. That is why in a lot of cases, people that do not have a degree but just alot of experience in what they are doing will get the job they are looking for regardless. I think workplace learning is essential to every environment and should be enforced and recognized as more of an requirement than anything else. I enjoyed reading these articles and it helps me realize that there are more people out there that want to push the subject, like myself.
