Title: | Using Work-based Learning to Develop Education for Sustainability: a proposal | Contributor(s): | Coll, Richard K (author); Taylor, Neil (author)![]() ![]() |

Work-based learning programmes provide graduates and leaders of tomorrow for a variety of business in the manufacturing sectors; such graduates are reported to rapidly advance in companies, and assume middle and senior management roles. Here, the authors propose that such employees need to develop an understanding of sustainability and suggest that work-based learning could act as a vehicle for delivering education for sustainability (EfS). This article begins with a description of the principles that underpin concepts for sustainability and EfS, and examines three models as to how work-based learning programmes could act as a vehicle for delivering EfS. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 55(2), p. 169-181 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1747-5090 1363-6820 |
