Doctoral Dissertations and Programmes
Feedback received in response to the recently published Directory of
Doctoral Dissertations in the field of learning and work
(www.ddd.wifo-gate.org) has resulted in an extended edition, released in
May 2011, now presenting about 130 dissertations from 15 European
countries.
New in this edition is an overview of selected institutions, which
supervise(d) two or more of the dissertations included in the Directory.
While this overview only represents a limited collection of dissertations,
the initial outcome is still worth noting: Larger groups of dissertations
related to particular institutions may point to existing doctoral
programmes or schools. Examples with 10 or more dissertations include
CRADLE - Center for Activity Theory and Developmental Work Research at the
University of Helsinki in Finland, the University of Twente in the
Netherlands and the Chair of Education (Lehrstuhl fuer Paedagogik II) at
the University of Regensburg in Germany.
This institutional aspect, along with the thematic pattern of doctoral
research, will be followed up in the next edition of the Directory, due in
2012 (no updates are envisaged before that date!). Furthermore, evidence on
doctoral research will be linked with data on Masters programmes
[www.master.wifo-gate.org], also maintained by the Research Forum WIFO, in
order to trace the institutional and thematic landscape of European
research in learning and work.

Projects
G8WAY - Web 2.0 Enhanced Gateway To Educational Transition
The period between finishing education and entering the world of work is a
time when young people have to make big decisions about the future. They
have to identify their strengths and weaknesses, think about what they
enjoy doing and choose a career path. They also have to develop their
skills in order to meet labour market requirements. The G8WAY project sees
these transitions as specific learning opportunities. By exploiting the
potential of web 2.0 the project aims to support young people through these
intensive learning periods. G8WAY partners have been speaking with young
people, conducting research on typical transition scenarios. The results
are vital transition stories which reveal the motivations and strategies of
young people as they attempt to enter working life. G8WAY partners are
developing a platform which combines different web 2.0 tools in a common
pedagogic framework. The platform will assist young people through their
transitions and provide a space for thought, reflection, discussion and
self-development. Please see www.g8way-eu.net for more information.

Publications
Book launch and seminar on 10th June
Knowledge, Skills and Competence in the European Labour Market: What's
in a Vocational Qualification?: book published by Routledge, June 2011
(weblink).
This timely and important new book by Michaela Brockmann, Linda Clarke and
Christopher Winch with Georg Hanf, Philippe Méhaut and Anneke Westerhuis
examines how qualifications, knowledge, skills and competences are
understood in different national contexts and transnationally and reveals a
complex picture of differences and similarities both within and between
countries. Against the background of European Union policy initiatives, and
in particular the European Qualifications Framework, a central focus is on
the prospects and difficulties of establishing cross-national recognition,
transparency and comparability of qualifications across member states, so
vital for the free movement of labour. Drawing on case studies of
particular sectors and occupations in England, France, Germany and the
Netherlands, the book will be a vital resource for those involved with VET.
It is to be launched on June 10th 2011 at the Nuffield Foundation in
London, following a seminar on Mobility and transparency of qualifications
across Europe. For further information, contact brockmm@wmin.ac.uk.

Two new books on workplace learning
Karen Evans has jointly authored and edited two new 2011 books on
workplace learning, offering contrasting insights into learning in, for
and through the workplace.
The first, "The Sage Handbook of Workplace Learning" (weblink), provides
a state-of -the-art overview of the field of workplace learning. The
authors are theoreticians, researchers, and practitioners in this
burgeoning field, which connects higher education, vocational education and
training, post-compulsory secondary schooling, and lifelong education.
Karen Evans has worked with an international team of editors, Marg Malloch,
Len Cairns and Bridget O'Connor, to bring together different views,
theoretical dispositions, and incisive analyses. Contributors include
Michael Eraut, Yrjo Engestrom, Lorna Unwin, Per-Erik Ellstrom, Tara
Fenwick, Martin Mulder, Stephen Billett and many other leading names from
the field of workplace learning.
The second book "Improving Literacy at Work" (weblink), which Karen Evans
has co-authored with Alison Wolf, moves from broad overview to a very
specific focus. While Improving Literacy at Work builds on detailed
research from the UK, the issue is a universal one. The book examines
fundamental questions about adult literacy development at work: how do
adults' literacy skills impact on their working lives, and on the
enterprises where they work?; how can we develop these essential skills in
the workforce?; when and how can literacy support at work change
individuals' work practices and engagement with further learning?
Both The Sage Handbook and Improving Literacy at Work speak to managers
and trainers in industry, trade unions and professional associations as
well as researchers and lecturers in higher, adult and further education
and all those interested in the fundamental changes that are taking place
in workplace learning.
(Contribution by: Karen Evans K.Evans@ioe.ac.uk)
"Corporate Universities: Developing Strategic Best Practices for Growth
and Development"
By Richard Dealtry, Chairman of the Global Association of Corporate
Universities and Academies.
This book examines the dynamic nature of business and career-inspired
learning and its relationship to an organisation's vision and strategy.
Success demands well prepared, flexible, opportunistic and innovative
thinkers. Cases and relevant examples are offered where opportunities have
been developed and implemented – achieving significantly measurable
returns on investment. It will be of particular value to a wide audience of
managers, strategists, learners and researchers who recognise the need to
create and deliver new dynamically based platforms from which to translate
their vision of the future into high quality real-time executive management
practices. The book provides a thorough examination of the issues involved,
making a compelling case for the Corporate University, even for the most
skeptical. It is available to purchase either in hard copy or as pdf
download at: www.corporateuniversity.org.uk/bookshop.htm

Fenwick, Martin Mulder, Stephen Billett and many other leading names from
the field of workplace learning.
The second book "Improving Literacy at Work" (weblink), which Karen Evans
has co-authored with Alison Wolf, moves from broad overview to a very
specific focus. While Improving Literacy at Work builds on detailed
research from the UK, the issue is a universal one. The book examines
fundamental questions about adult literacy development at work: how do
adults' literacy skills impact on their working lives, and on the
enterprises where they work?; how can we develop these essential skills in
the workforce?; when and how can literacy support at work change
individuals' work practices and engagement with further learning?
Both The Sage Handbook and Improving Literacy at Work speak to managers
and trainers in industry, trade unions and professional associations as
well as researchers and lecturers in higher, adult and further education
and all those interested in the fundamental changes that are taking place
in workplace learning.

"Corporate Universities: Developing Strategic Best Practices for Growth
and Development"
By Richard Dealtry, Chairman of the Global Association of Corporate
Universities and Academies.
This book examines the dynamic nature of business and career-inspired
learning and its relationship to an organisation's vision and strategy.
Success demands well prepared, flexible, opportunistic and innovative
thinkers. Cases and relevant examples are offered where opportunities have
been developed and implemented – achieving significantly measurable
returns on investment. It will be of particular value to a wide audience of
managers, strategists, learners and researchers who recognise the need to
create and deliver new dynamically based platforms from which to translate
their vision of the future into high quality real-time executive management
practices. The book provides a thorough examination of the issues involved,
making a compelling case for the Corporate University, even for the most
skeptical. It is available to purchase either in hard copy or as pdf
download at: www.corporateuniversity.org.uk/bookshop.htm
