Swedish term

Lärande i Arbetslivet

Swedish to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
I could translate "Lärande i Arbetslivet" as "Learning in Working Life," but I'm wondering if there isn't a standard term used by Swedish universities for this?

Perhaps "Internship" ?

What? What is the source text trying to say? Only the author knows for sure...
Kristian Andersson May 29, 2012:
"Learning through work experience" 08:06 That's what I suggested in the link below and I think it sounds pretty good (in British English).
Charlesp (asker) May 29, 2012:
"Learning through work experience" How about "Learning through work experience" - that's what I have come up with as the most appropriate, as it explains what it is and sounds sufficiently professional.

I want to thank everyone for their input and contr I want to thank everyone for their input and contributions. All of the responses are possibilities (even the one's with the disagrees), and I suppose it all depends upon how specific the educational institution wants to be in naming a course.

(As for grading, I have no idea of how to handle this, as Proz still doesn't allow splitting of points)

Vocational training can be at the place of occupation, at school, college or university.
On-the-job training is an example of vocational training at the actual place of occupation.

Simply stick to a good dictionary, eg, Collins: vocational is 1. of or relating to a vocation or vocations. 2. of or relating to applied educational courses concerned with skills needed for an occupation, trade or profession.

work-placement, apprenticeship, alternating training

It all depends on the type of training being referred to.
Work-placement is just an alternative for 'internship', apprenticeship if it is training offered by a company with a possible contract at the end and 'alternating training if it is a university course with some regular work experience in a company as an employee of the company
