This article argues that it is better to train based on learner similarities across employee ages. It argues further that it is major economic shifts in the workplace that change what is needed from educational institutions and from workplace learning and development.10 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
