work-based learning

• Alternative Labels

• Definition

  • Work-based learning refers to all forms of  learning that takes place in a real work environment. It provides individuals with the skills  needed to successfully obtain and keep jobs and progress in their professional development. Apprenticeships, internships/traineeships and on-the-job training are the most common types of work-based learning. These types usually – but not always – combine elements of learning in the workplace with classroom-based learning. (Source: Interagency Agency group for TVET (IAG-TVET). 2017.
