Aspects of each initiative (USA Workforce, UK Creative Skillset, EU Lifelong Learning) will be considered within the context of their impact upon the support of student learning. The limits and flexibility of each initiative to seed or support the alternative-learning units that were executed will be found in the narrative of each study. Readers might be able to make general and broad comparisons from these stories, but should not attempt to see the various initiatives as equal programs, but instead should bear in mind that they represent parallel initiatives, within the historical and social and economic contexts of each country mentioned.
Consequently, this report builds on those earlier analyses and attempt to place the entire 5-Year project within a scholarly framework. As such, this report is informative on two counts: 1) It provides a historical account of the project and 2) It briefly situates the project within the context of broader literature review. This introduction is followed by a summary with several general conclusions and observations, meant to support future research.
