Footprints of Lifelong Learners: Occupational Health and Safety Course
Öz
Lifelong
learning represents all learning activities undertaken throughout a person’s
lifetime, with the aim of improving knowledge, skills and competencies. These
activities can be undertaken in formal, non-formal as well as informal learning
settings. From this point of view, Anadolu University e-Certificate Programs
are national scale platform and have been developed as a solution to the need
for lifelong learning in Turkey.
In 2016,
upon the Ministry of Labour, Social Services and Family’s request, an OHS e-Certificate
Program for Employer and the Representative of Employer, who have a workforce
of fewer than 50 workers and a workplace
that is classified as “less dangerous” has been designed by Anadolu University.
This
research is designed to reveal the tendencies within the Occupational Health
and Safety e-Certificate Program, which has almost 80,000 participants since
2016. The average age of participants is 39 and 65.3% are graduates of higher
education and 51.4% are employers. Participants have indicated that they are
most likely to benefit from the course book during their study; 80.7% of them
stated that they will re-participate in such course which is conducted through
open and distance learning.
