Life Based Learning is a contemporary model for capability development in vocational and technical education. It proposes that learning for work is not restricted to learning at work. The premise is that all learning is interrelated so it is not easy to separate learning at work from other types of learning adults do. Learning is a multi-dimensional experience. Adults engage in a lot of learning other than professional development and much of this ‘extra-curricular’ learning influences our thinking and our work practices. Understanding a strength based orientation to learning inside and outside of work results in individual and organisational growth and development.
