Education and Training

Education is the instruction to improve critical life and social skills, including decision-making, refusal skills, critical analysis (eg media messages), and systematic judgment abilities. It encompasses teaching and learning specific skills, and also something less tangible but more profound: the imparting of knowledge, good judgement and wisdom. Education has as one of its fundamental goals the imparting of culture from generation to generation.

Training involves an organized attempt to assist learning through instruction, observation, or practice. Training goals normally reflect the demands of a job role although ‘management development’ tends to have somewhat less specific goals. There is a great deal of research interest in what affects the extent to which training transfers into workplace behaviour. The impact of training on the success of an economy is an issue much disputed by economists. It is the teaching of vocational or practical and relates to specific useful skills. It forms the core of apprenticeships and provides the backbone of content at technical colleges or polytechnics. Today it is often referred to as professional development.
