Training for the New Year: Formal vs. Informal Learning

Training for the New Year: Formal vs. Informal Learning | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
As we prepare for the New Year, we’re reminded of the trends and practices we welcomed in 2014, while also calling attention to the processes that require further change in the months to come. Despite the various boundaries pushed, the training industry is shifting, and informal learning strategies are beginning to take precedence over formal training.

Canada. Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition: The Context

Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

Prior learning assessment (PLA) is a process that involves the identification, documentation, assessment of learning acquired through formal, non-formal and informal study. This may include work and life experience, training, independent study, volunteering, travel, hobbies, and family experiences.  Recognition is the award of academic credits, trade/occupational and/or professional certification, or promotion within the workplace. http://www.nqai.ie/docs/international/LYNNLAKE.PPT

European Union. Investing in New Skills, Competences and Knowledge

Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

Investing in skills, competences and knowledge and recognising and validating both „soft‟ and „hard‟ skills, competences and knowledge acquired through informal, non-formal and vocational education and training is necessary to contribute to fighting education „gaps‟ and hence contributing to increasing people´s opportunities to access the labour market and to participate in society.
