This paper reviews the literature on learning that is related to post-compulsory education and training and deemed relevant to those working as educators within a dual sector university. Implications are identified and discussed with respect to teaching and curriculum development. The work was conducted as part of the developmental phase for a subject to be taught to vocational education and training (VET) sector teaching staff as part of a Graduate Diploma in Industrial Education and Training (GDIET).

At the centre of contemporary reforms to post compulsory education and training sit a variety of views, usually unstated, about what constitutes a 'good worker'. This paper surfaces some of these assumptions through considering some past efforts to use education to construct 'good workers'. Following a very brief introduction the paper presents a dialogue-in-progress among the contributors, whose historical and theoretical concerns developed through their distinct but overlapping doctoral research. The paper, the associated Conference presentation and the discussion generated among the authors and participants is in part a stage in an ongoing collaborative research process which itself aims to model 'good work' in an intellectual sense. The authors hope that other adult education researchers will be 'drawn into' the collaboration, which is seeking to learn from the past by revisiting and revising the history of adult and workplace education.
