Onnismaa, Jussi
Journal of Employment Counseling, v45 n2 p79 Jun 2008
A case study of a tailor-made apprenticeship training program for experienced employees is presented. The existing and aspiring heads, managers, and experts in a single enterprise were offered apprenticeship training for special vocational qualification in engineering. The aim of the case study was to discover participants' views about age, experience, tacit knowledge, and workplace counseling. Considering the age and experience of employees and the personalization of adult learning creates a challenge for workplace counseling.
