What is Learning at Work Day?
National Learning at Work Day is an annual awareness campaign, promoting and supporting workplace learning events across England.
The Campaign for Learning started organising LAW Day in 1999 as part of Adult Learners' Week to draw attention to the importance of workplace learning and skills. Each year, thousands of organisations take part in LAW Day and stage fun and business-related learning activities to help their staff learn new skills that they can put into action at work.
Each organisation shapes LAW Day to the needs of its workforce. It can be used to:
- Highlight an organisation's commitment to workplace learning
- Celebrate the learning achievements of employees during the year
- Offer a day of learning to increase motivation and develop generic employability skills
- Promote existing training opportunities in the workplace, or launch new initiatives
- Identify learning and training needs of employees and the organisation
- Signpost employees to further learning opportunities
We offer support for organisations wishing to run Learning at Work Day including planning packs, activity ideas, promotional materials, conferences and seminars, and regional assistance.
Last year an estimated 6,300 organisations took part including large corporations, SMEs, public sector organisations and government departments. By getting involved in the biggest annual celebration of workplace learning you could reach new staff, uncover new skills, build new partnerships and help reach your business goals - all at the same time!
