Learning at Work Week (LAW Week) is an annual national event in the UK coordinated by the Campaign for Learning. It is designed to promote a culture of continuous learning and development within organisations of all sizes and sectors.
2026 Theme: "Many ways to learn."
Purpose and Participation
- Objective: To highlight the benefits of learning, stimulate curiosity, and engage employees in personal and professional growth.
- Who can join: Any workplace, including SMEs, multinationals, charities, and government departments. It is typically led by HR, L&D, or internal communications teams.
- Cost: It is free to participate and access the Campaign for Learning’s online resources and promotional materials.
Core Benefits
- Cultural Shift: Improves perceptions of L&D and helps "rebrand" or refresh internal training initiatives.
- Employee Engagement: Motivates staff by highlighting diverse ways to learn, from formal workshops to social and interest-led activities.
- Business Alignment: Provides a platform to address skills gaps, break down silos, and align learning with specific organisational goals.
- Talent Discovery: Encourages employees to share their own knowledge and passions, uncovering internal talent.
How it Works
The Campaign for Learning provides a non-prescriptive framework, planning resources, and national activities. Organisations are free to design their own creative campaigns—ranging from digital skills sessions and panel discussions to creative workshops—that fit their specific context and budget.
