The Centre for Excellence in Professional Learning from the Workplace (CEPLW) could be a way out of your worries and a step towards developing your professional learning from the workplace. So what do we mean by professional learning from the workplace?

‘Professional Learning from the workplace’ (PLW) has been described as encompassing “learning for work, learning at work and learning through work” (Brennan & Little, 1996). It prepares students for professional life using the knowledge, skills and attributes typically acquired in the workplace. It is also a key part of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for established professionals.
