Action Research = Practical Outcomes

TALC pursues an eclectic action based research programme dependent on issues raised by stakeholders. In the past we have examined learning pathways, health and safety, innovation, energy and environment, skills development, mentoring, professional development, group training and web based learning systems.

We will continue to undertake research on behalf of stakeholders and the industry as requested.
