Workforce Development
- Share to:
Workforce development is an overarching term used to describe a wide range of education, training and professional development activities carried out in the workplace. In this series of two books, we have endeavoured to follow the emergence of workforce development from initial concept to final application. In our first book, Workforce development: Perspective and issues, we brought together a compilation of education and training topics and asked our authors to firstly, draw on their expertise in human resource development and adult education and secondly, reflect on their recent experiences of researching in the Australian rail industry We aimed to show that workforce development is an amalgam of ideas and developments that are currently shaping the organisational landscape in a period of rapid change and uncertainty. In this second volume we have extended our discussion to consider how these perspective and issues have translated into workable strategies and practices used by organisations. In this chapter, we describe the background to our book and examine further what the collective term workforce development means by analysing each part separately.
