ABSTRACT
Both ‘knowledge’ and ‘learning’ have become fuzzy domains. Knowledge is not only produced in new places, new formats and new modes but is suffused throughout society through the action of information and communication technology and the proliferation of global cultures, images and ‘brands’. Learning no longer takes place predominantly in formal education settings such as schools, colleges and universities but in the community and, crucially, in the workplace. But work has also become a fuzzy domain, as linear careers have been succeeded by portfolio careers. This article discusses prospects for the even closer integration of learning and work, in these contemporary – and much wider – senses.
