ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that learning and working are intricately connected. Within this complexity of learning and working, the connection might be envisaged as two spectra of agencies. One referred to the learning spectrum where informal and formal learning approaches were featured, and the connectedness of the two methods was dependent on such contexts as the nature of the work, location, working culture and stakeholders. Much of the quoted narratives offered readers insights, understanding and hope to those wanting to take the plunge to change professions, lifestyles, etc. to be themselves. The two spectra ought to be perceived as interconnected and within the two dimensions of learning and work, where social, cultural, economic and political factors at play. One group, in particular, which springs to mind as a result of us attending a recent learning technologies exhibition in London, is technologists with connections to learning who may benefit from accessing these findings.
