This research examines continuing professional learning in the pharmaceutical sales industry. Pharmaceutical-sales is a knowledge-intense, highly competitive and rapidly changing industry employing a geographically distributed workforce. The varied ways in which agents in this industry continue to learn for work are presented and examined. A framework is developed and employed for exploring and reporting fundamental characteristics of ways of learning beyond designation of in/formality. Findings include the importance of peer-learning for non-co-located peers, the identification of intentional incidental learning, and a non-traditional role for workplace learning in a knowledge-intense and competitive environment. http://www.adulterc.org/Proceedings/2011/papers/hunter.pdf

The purpose of this study is to theorize self-directed learning (SDL) in the workplace from the perspectives of human resource development (HRD), adult education (AdEd), and lifelong learning in order to suggest the implications for the legislation of trade union education (TUE) in South Korea. Since legislation at the national level can promote workers‘ participation in TUE in the context of SDL for industrial democracy through humanization of education, the South Korean government should provide trade unions with appropriate legislative, financial, and administrative support. http://www.adulterc.org/Proceedings/2012/papers/rok_oh.pdf
