About Learning at Work Week

Learning at Work Week (LAW Week) is a national annual event led by Campaign for Learning to build learning cultures at work. It aims to put a spotlight on the importance and benefits of continual learning and development. In 2025, it takes place from 12 to 18 May. The 2025 theme is 'Get Connected', it highlights the social aspect of lifelong learning at work with three aspects to consider: 

• how we connect people to learning experiences through building motivation and addressing barriers to engagement 
• the importance of our work communities for supporting, inspiring and driving engagement with lifelong learning 
• how connecting colleagues through learning across the organisation, we can build understanding, skills and knowledge as well as create collaborative cultures and relationships that further support a lifelong learning culture.
