Abstract

This article is based on research undertaken for the Commonwealth of Learning on the combination of open and distance learning and vocational workplace-based learning in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) (Alkema and Neal, ODL and workplace learning TVET programmes in New Zealand. Commonwealth of Learning, Burnaby, 2020). Drawing on this research, my article describes workplace learning, considers three models of delivery, and assesses the value of these approaches to learners/trainees/apprentices, employers, and tertiary education providers. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
