The document proposes a workplace learning hub to (1) accelerate skills development, (2) link practice and research, and (3) share best practices. It would (1) build a skills community, (2) systematically connect practice and research, and (3) collect research and practices. The hub's business model would involve knowledge mapping, collecting local research, and establishing communities of practice. It outlines challenges, opportunities for collaboration between academia, development institutions, and the workplace, and next steps to develop the business model in more detail.
