Abstract: There is a need to connect workplace learning and essential skills to a larger domain of workplace learning in general. To do this, the contexts in which learning takes place, and the cultures of the actors and environments involved, should be taken into consideration. Although research on the direct effects of contexts and cultures on workplace learning and essential skills (WLES) outcomes is limited, there is a body of evidence from various disciplines and several countries on workplace training and general adult learning. Three main contexts have been identified: (1) that of the participant; (2) the workplace; and (3) the social/economic/political environment. Research findings for each are summarized in this brief report.
