Abstract

In this chapter developments and issues with regard to the integration of workplace learning in Dutch vocational and higher professional education are analysed. The value and quality of workplace learning in both vocational education and training (VET) and higher professional education (HPE) remains a topic of heavy debate and much experimentation. Two serious ‘sticky’ problems remain and are frequently discussed in the Netherlands: the quality of workplace learning with regard to content, guidance and assessment, and the quality of the connections between work based and school based learning. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.
