It does this by exploring what research says are the key features needed to foster effective learning in the workplace. It then uses this research to develop and trial an instrument which larger providers can use to assess their organisation's learning environment. A set of questions in the fact sheet supporting this report will help smaller providers consider how good their learning environment is. http://www.ncver.edu.au/publications/2062.html A study in difference: Structures and cultures in Australian registered training organisations Berwyn Clayton, Thea Fisher, Roger Harris, Andrea Bateman, Mike BrownThe findings of a study examining organisational culture and structure in ten public, private, community and enterprise-based Australian registered training organisations is presented in this report.
