Abstract

The text is based on the results of the Czech workplace learning survey performed in 2010 in the sectors of education and health. Its aim is to present some of the identical and different features of workplace learning in these sectors. The differences between sectors of education and health, as identified in the empirical data of our workplace learning survey, do not only refer to the ideas about organization and support of learning but to the employees' deepest beliefs about the sense of learning. Such differences are herewith interpreted as diversities in the culture of learning, as given by the professional structure, the features of various jobs, the distribution of labour, and, far mostly, the culture of organizations operating in these sectors. Understanding the culture of learning is a precondition for making the systems of workplace learning efficient, accessible and pleasant for the employee, and simultaneously, feasible and benefitial for the employer.
