Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus har opprettet et Program for livslang læring (PLL) (www.hioa.no/pll) som
en del av høgskolens strategiske satsning på et tettere samarbeid med arbeidslivet om læring.
Formålet med PLL er å utvikle og utrede grunnlaget for en permanent satsing på læring utenfor
utdanningsinstitusjonene og i veksling mellom disse og omkringliggende arbeids- og samfunnsliv.
Arbeid i PLL skal være forskning- og utviklingsbasert og bidra med kunnskap til fornyelse i våre
utdanninger og om læring i arbeidet. Overordnet mål er å bidra aktivt i utviklingen av framtidas
læringsliv».
