Learning a Living: Radical Innovation in Education for Work

---

Learning a Living is a timely, engaging and original contribution to the debate over the relationship between education, innovation, work and the workforce. The acute concerns around rising unemployment, especially amongst the young (in the context of the global recession) will benefit from this authoritative contribution which highlights fresh thinking, inspiring practice, and ways of encouraging the spread of such practice.

Valerie Hannon and colleagues at the Innovation Unit explore the major trends shaping education for work, highlights success stories from around the world and features interviews and portraits of key figures, pioneering thinkers and learners, all illustrated with outstanding photography by leading photojournalist, Reza. It identifies common themes of the successful programmes featured - vital to thinking about how to scale up.
