Towards a Holistic Transformation of Organisations into Learning Workplaces - LEARN

Project in brief

LEARN aims to develop a strategic approach to the transformation of organisations into Learning Workplaces through the design and development of an ISO certification which organisations may receive when they get transformed into Learning Workplaces.

In order to get certified, organisations will need to perform specific activities and use specific tools which will be included in the certification scheme that will be developed. These activities and tools will be aligned with the 10 Building Blocks for Promoting Adult Learning in the Workplace, as identified by the ET 2020 Working Group 2016-2018 of the European Commission on Adult Learning. Additionally, they will take into consideration both the needs of employers with respect to learning in the workplace (linked to the strategic goals of their organisation) and the needs of employees for different types of learning (including the development of their transversal skills). This certification is an additional motive for organisations to get transformed into Learning Workplaces.

The objectives of LEARN can be summarized as follows:

  • To develop a positive attitude towards the transformation of organisations into Learning Workplaces through the design of attitude tests and training material as well as through the implementation of specialised workshops for employers/employer representatives and employees, so that both sides can support the process.
  • To identify/design activities which an organisation should perform to become a Learning Workplace, responding both to the needs of the organisations and to the needs of the employees, and include them in the certification scheme.
  • To develop a positive attitude towards the transformation of organisations into Learning Workplaces through the design of attitude tests and training material as well as through the implementation of specialised workshops for employers/employer representatives and employees, so that both sides can support the process.
  • To focus on the development of transversal skills in the workplace primarily through classroom learning (basic development through the training material which will be designed) and secondarily through the implementation of other learning activities.
  • To validate the development of employees’ key transversal skills through the development of an assessment tool leading to an ISO17024 certification.
  • To develop a network of consultants who will act as project ambassadors and lead the organisations to their transformation into Learning Workplaces.
