This chapter focuses on guidance activities that are brought into the actual workplace. Two aspects of this approach are examined. The first is the policy linking between guidance and lifelong learning. The second is approaches to workplace guidance about education and training, using evaluations of workplace guidance initiatives organised by trade unions and employers in Denmark, Iceland and the UK. In the conclusion, the author points to power issues behind workplace guidance that may hinder its effectiveness in terms of promoting lifelong learning, and that need to be addressed cooperatively by guidance practitioners, employers, and trade unions.
