Abstract

This chapter explore innovative approaches that facilitate both upskilling and reskilling of workers for transitions into new and emerging workplace roles. It aims to challenge and reshape our perceptions of workplace learning in both physical and digital contexts, with a particular focus on the future of professional development. Examples are given within the Australian context, where industry-led initiatives reskill trade professionals to be teachers through a supportive internship model, where learning is both on the job training and formal university study, and where learners engage with in a flexible model of hybrid physical face to face, virtual synchronous and asynchronous learning. Flexibility and inclusive learning are shown to enable successful work and life transitions; however, this chapter will not only be a reflection on training for life career transitions but will ask the critical questions of how workplace learning in the digital age is transitioning how we perceive training.
