| Annotation | This report is aimed at UK employers and policymakers, and provides information relating to those currently in the UK workforce. The report reviews the policy and academic literature to identify the issues as they apply to younger and older workers, particularly barriers in access to personal and professional development. It examines trends in training based on secondary analysis of the Labour Force Survey 2004 (LFS) and the National Adult Learning Survey 2002. It provides advice and guidance for employers who are seeking to adopt age positive training strategies, based on case studies of five organisations who train a mixed-age workforce (B&Q, ClinPhone, Lyreco UK Ltd, Macphie, and the Royal Bank of Scotland). Lastly, it gives a practical overview of training schemes, advice and guidance available to employers and employees. This research is one of a number of projects commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on behalf of the Age Partnership Group (APG) as part of the National Guidance Campaign (NGC).
