How then can workplace educators gain the specific skills that will enhance their work, provide for meaningful discussions with colleagues within the field and related fields internationally and enhance their ability to serve the needs of their clients?

It is not only business that is growing internationally and globally but workplace literacy providers too! It is thanks partially to the Internet and technology that we can enjoy and afford these long-distance relationships with colleagues who are kindred spirits. The fact that we have these connections paves the way for all sorts of possibilities for collaboration and idea/information sharing in the future. It also suggests the possibility of developing a more formalized international network and the potential strength of such a network in shaping and enriching learning and development for workplace educators. A critical component of developing this network needs to focus on how we can be more inclusive in our networking and that means figuring out new ways of communicating across different languages. The strength of such a network is that it could provide a powerful venue for advocacy work on issues that we collectively and globally believe are important.
