“…This study intends to develop a theoretical proposition of workplace learning (WPL). The proposition is built based on collecting data on WPL practices in the work environment (Garnett, 2016a) linked to the recognition of the National Qualifications Framework (Allais, 2017a;Baker, 2017;Bohlinger, 2012;Muravyeva, 2019;Schröder, 2019), career advancement and employee income (Oliver, 2017), and employee competitiveness (Adam, 2017;Permenaker 21, 2014;Permendikbud 73, 2013).…”

The idea in this research is to add propositional enrichment to the theory of learning at work (WPL) linked to the Indonesian Qualifications Framework (IQF) to achieve equalization of WPL learning outcomes through recognition to improve competitiveness and enhance workforce careers. The education level of the workforce in Indonesia is still the cause of the low competitiveness and productivity of the Indonesian workforce, where the Global Human Capital Index ranking for Indonesia's human resources is in 65th position out of 130 countries. Discussion of research articles on the IQF as the basis for regulations for equalizing learning outcomes through education, job training, and experience, so far only in the scope of education, has not found one that focuses on WPL. Content analysis in this grounded theory research was conducted on 29 documents from two companies with the characteristics of having professional certification bodies. The originality of this study, based on the three characteristics of WPL proposed by Stern and Sommerlad, identifies more specifically WPL practices by companies in the form of a model. The twenty propositions in this study can be continued in further research as hypotheses to be tested, as well as recommendations to the Indonesian government authorities and industry players to focus on WPL which refers to the IQF.

“…Although many countries are either introducing NQFs or preparing to introduce them, some research has shown that there is limited evidence of successful implementations (Raffe, 2013;Oliver & Walpole, 2017). Young (2008) found that there were three main NQF implementation problems: political, administrative, and educational; other problems related to NQF objectives have also been highlighted (Allais, 2010;Raffe, 2013).…”

The goal of this paper was to explore the directions for a Japanese Qualifications Framework (JQF) through the collationof Japanese Government expert viewpoints.This study used a qualitative case study design involving interviews with 15 Japanese government officials. It was foundthat Japan continues to haveproblems with academic degrees and licensing framework and system. Many Japanese government experts believed that Japan needed a qualifications framework and system that could function both domestically and internationally, however, Japan has an insufficient qualifications framework and system which has led to weak competitiveness for Japanese experts. To resolve these issues, a Japanese qualifications system needs (1) to have pathways toward higher skill levels from work-based experience to higher education and (2) to broaden pathways allowing for the transfer of Japanese domestic qualifications to international framework qualifications.It is concluded that to build these pathways, National Qualifications Framework is needed as a common language and a basic framework to make the qualifications more transparent and to align domestic and international qualification standards. The Japanese government should enter into a discussion about JQF seriously with stakeholders in education, industry, and government with the aim of improving higher education programs for experts to ensure domestic and international competitiveness.

IntroductionManufacturing is a relevant component of the Australian economy since it is the seventh-largest employer, the sixth-largest for output, and has the highest business expenditure on research and development (AI Group, 2019). The manufacturing industry also has strong links throughout the Australian economy through the flow of skills, knowledge and goods, using materials and services from other industries (e.g. mining and information and communications technologies) and providing manufactured products such as fertilizer to agriculture, or structural steel to construction (Australia, 2018). Having a diversity of activities, the leading manufacturing sectors in Australia are food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemical, and non-metallic minerals (Manufacturers' Monthly, 2019).
