"I would recommend it to both serious academics and those who frivolously wish to sample the topic."
As a nurse, manager and now researcher concerned with healthcare education I found this volume interesting and thought provoking... this volume provides a starting point to explore the evidence underpinning workplace learning, and encourages a wider appreciation of different perspectives and different work places.
'Over the past decade, workplace learning has become one of the major areas of development for business, management and education. Yet ideas about it are diverse and complex and its practice is affected by competing influences and differing perspectives. This essential guide brings together many of the world's leading scholars to clarify and explore the various concepts and approaches in ways that will benefit practitioners, researchers, educators and policymakers alike'

The first few chapters relevant for this apprenticeship group
An excellent resource with a wide range of topics.
This book is essential to all strands of the WBL International courses, therefore I will be recommending it as essential reading for the next academic year.
This is an excellent book with a wealth of chapters form different perspectives on work based learning. In particular the following chapters are very useful for our students (MA in Career Management) Chapter 1 gives an excellent overview and sets the theoretical context. Chapter 3 by Illeris has strong links with reflective practice, so very useful for my specialism Chapter 7 by Engstrom - I am very interested in activity theory and feel it can be neglected in many publications Chapter 8 by Ellstrom - again often a neglected topic.
Very helpful handbook, providing an advanced overview of the main issues (and current scholars) in the field.
This is an excellent read covering theories and approaches to work based learning in detail. It is an easy book to navigate through and essential for any work based learning programme
