ABSTRACT
Throughout the world, public service managers are increasingly required to ensure that their employees continue to learn while at work. Learning is no longer the preserve of education systems. Companies, consultants and publicly funded agencies are offering a wide variety of services to help managers to develop the learning capability of their employees. In some countries a plethora of funding opportunities exist to promote ‘lifelong learning’, and ‘a learning society’ to serve their ‘knowledge-based economies’.
