摘要英国最近的雇主和雇员调查显示，培训参与率下降，每位雇员的培训支出减少，在线培训/电子学习增加。鉴于技能对经济复苏的重要性，新型冠状病毒疫情进一步推动了对培训趋势的考虑。许多工人正在适应越来越多的在线工作和学习。新型冠状病毒肺炎危机凸显了员工提升技能、重新掌握技能以及参与新学习方式的需求。但是，调查的装备有多好，以捕捉这些新的趋势？本文回顾了英国雇主和雇员培训调查的重点，以及从选定的深入雇主访谈中发现的培训趋势。它指出，在目前的调查中，正规培训比非正规培训更受重视，对非正规培训的解释也很狭隘。它指出，在理解某些非正式工作场所学习的不同类型、持续时间和价值方面存在差距，而最近工作场所的变化意味着在职培训和脱产培训之间的区别不如以前那么有用。为了捕捉新的学习方法，调查需要更多地关注谁负责工作场所培训、实践社区以及培训的感知好处。
ABSTRACT Recent employer and employee surveys in the UK highlight a decline in training participation, a reduction in training expenditure per employee and an increase in online training/e-learning. The Covid-19 pandemic adds impetus to considering training trends given the importance of skills for economic recovery. Many workers are adapting to work and learning increasingly moving online. The Covid-19 crisis accentuates the need for employees to upskill and reskill and participate in new ways of learning. But how well equipped are surveys to capture these new trends? This paper reviews the focus of employer and employee training surveys in the UK alongside findings from selected in-depth employer interviews on training trends. It identifies greater focus on formal than informal training in current surveys, and a narrow interpretation of informal training. It identifies a gap in understanding the different types, duration and value of some informal workplace learning, while recent workplace changes mean the distinction between on- and off-the-job training is becoming less useful than previously. To capture new approaches to learning, surveys need to focus more on who is responsible for workplace training, communities of practice and perceived benefits of training.
