This symposium on workplace learning consists of three presentations. "Beyond School-to-Work Initiatives: Does Human Resource Development (HRD) Have a Role?" (Gene Roth, Laurel Jeris) asks HRD professionals to consider potential relationships between career development and current federally funded educational initiatives for workforce preparation. It advocates the reconceptualization of the traditional contexts for HRD to include the public education sector, along with preservice and inservice teacher education, in a combined effort to share expertise, learn from those who will build the future, and put into practice a holistic and systemically-based view of career development. "The Concept of Common Sense in Workplace Learning: A Qualitative Study" (Robert W. Rowden) reports a study that demonstrates seven variations on how common sense learning should be a part of workplace learning and development along with theoretical learning. "Job Analysis for Training: Examining the Holistic Nature of Work Requirements" (Donna H. Redmann, Judith L. Lambrecht, Wanda L. Stitt-Gohdes) examines various tools used for job analysis and seeks a greater understanding of workplace learning within the job settings. Two of the papers include substantial bibliographies. (YLB)
