Sustaining Employability Through Work-Life Learning: Practices and Policies

本書旨在促進對於支持和維持工作年齡成人學習的理解與方法，特別是在延長的工作生涯和他們所面臨的不可避免的轉變中。該書的基礎是針對工作生活學習及其對工作場所和教育實踐影響的三階段實踐研究的過程和結果，該研究於2019年開始，在澳大利亞進行了三年的時間。研究中採用了多元的觀點和取向來進行數據分析，並從數據中提取結果，從而使對這些複雜現象的分析能夠開展不同的質詢、問題和分析方法。書中更全面地闡述了成人在其成年期（即工作生活）中的學習和發展過程，以及支持該學習的因素和貢獻。本書還試圖調和對於工作生涯發展的連貫觀點，以及如何通過教育提供、工作場所、社區和成人自身來支持這一發展。
