The National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) has agreed to establish and support a commission in order to identify best practice in the UK and internationally across each of the key arenas in which adult learning makes a significant contribution, to identify the values, principles and practical steps needed to give life to life-long and life-wide learning for all communities of the UK.
As part of this work, the Commission of Inquiry will be issuing a number of calls for evidence on particular themes. At present we are calling for evidence on learning in the workplace.
Interested individuals and organisations are invited to submit written evidence to the Commission. The closing date for evidence is 27 November 2007.
In particular, the Commission invites evidence on the following areas:
- Future skills needs in the workplace
- Work organisation and leadership
- Funding and regulation of learning in the workplace
- Variations within the above categories by region, sector and age
In addition we welcome evidence on any area relevant to the work of the Inquiry. This evidence can be submitted at any stage, however please indicate that it is not linked to a particular call.
