Abstract

This book examines evolving trends in pre-employment and continuing education, focusing on how formal learning affects learners’ skills, career motivation, and work readiness. It also addresses adult workers’ skills development, continuous training and workplace learning, highlighting key enablers, barriers and factors influencing their motivation and employability. Drawing on insights from experienced scholars and practitioners from Singapore and some Asia-Pacific contexts, including Australia, Bangladesh, and China, the book uniquely integrates the synergy between pre-employment and continuing education, offering a deeper understanding of their interconnectedness in fostering a sustainable workforce. As a comprehensive resource, it provides valuable insights for advancing higher education, vocational training, continuing education, workplace learning, and workforce development. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
