Wasted Potential:
Training and career progression for part time and temporary workers
|
This title has been withdrawn from general circulation, but we recognise it as still having some value to researchers and academics, as well as practitioners who wish to see how policy and practice have developed over the years. |

Atypical workers, whether part-timers, those on temporary contracts or people working a variety of flexible options, now account for nearly one in five of the population – more than in any other EC state. Wasted Potential is the report of a research project undertaken by NIACE, with funding from the Employment Department, to investigate training provision for this group. The findings uncover a worrying contradiction between the stated objectives of government and industry in developing a flexible workforce, while at the same time providing only an inflexible approach to training based on a full-time norm.
Wasted Potential looks at how employers are meeting the challenge of training and career progression for atypical workers in a series of case studies which reveal a variety of good practice and a range of solid achievements.
Wasted Potential will be of immediate practical interest to all involved in HRM and to those involved in developing training policy in the public and private sectors.
Readership: human resource managers and others involved in developing training policy in the public and private sectors
