Britain's response to unemployment has been a series of related government initiatives designed to transform education and training and establish a ‘training culture’ along the lines of other industrialized countries. The paper reviews those directed first at school leavers (16‐19‐year‐olds) and second at adults. The common features of these schemes with respect to teaching approach and course organization are examined in relation to the underlying pedagogical principle of ‘Open Learning’. Finally the paper locates open learning within the wider framework of continuing education ‐ the essential goal for modern societies ‐ concluding that a broader view of it than one restricted to its work‐related aspects alone is essential
