What is it about?
Learning in and for the workplace is at the top of the international policy agenda. Yet Further Education teachers in England with current work skills face greater insecurity in the sector following shifts in funding and the deregulation of teacher education.

Why is it important?
We place these developments in the context of an international policy turn towards marketisation in teacher education, as well as a 'workplace turn' that has contributed to instability in the FE sector. We use Margaret Archer's ideas to explain the way these tutors find it difficult to move forward as educators in this environment.
Perspectives
This is one of an ongoing series of projects examining the relationship between education and employment, as well as the position of educators working between these locations. Other areas of interest include workplace learning, apprenticeship teaching and non-university higher education.
