Popis: This paper offers a scenario of workplace learning as practiced in Malaysia. Based on survey research, the article describes learner profiles, learning provision and pattern. The analysis shows that Malaysians participate in formal workplace learning as part of their employment activities. Workplace learning in Malaysia is contextual, promoted by the political-economic agenda of a nation aspiring towards fully developed status. Workplace learning is also affected by factors such as learners’ socio-cultural, economic and psychological status, and employers’ role and support.
