Description: To follow-up previous works on learning environments, e.g. discussions in VETNET, on paths between learning environments; like workplace training and classroom training. Link this discussion to the theme of validation of non-formal and informal competences and to ongoing policy work of the European Union on dissemination and exploitation of results from Community programmes, like 'Leonardo da Vinci' in the field of vocational training. Reflections on the utility of the notion 'valorisation' of project results and on similarities between national and transnational training projects. Reflections on the involvement of and contribution from stakeholder groups, like agencies for validation of prior learning and the social partners. Methodology: Analysis of semi-structured interviews with learners and project coordinators carried out during the evaluation of a Norwegian LLL programme. Analysis of documentation from DG Education and Culture on dissemination and exploitation (=valorisation) of project results.On this basis; a comparison between dissemination and exploitation of results from Norwegian workplace training projects with vocational training projects in the frame of the EU programme 'Leonardo da Vinci'. Conclusions: Appraisals of the Norwegian LLL reform and efforts of the European Commission in valorising training projects point in the same direction: a sound dissemination and exploitation of public funded projects will better benefit learners when workplace training and classroom training are conciliated. An important tool in this conciliation is the translation of workplace experiences into a form that accreditation agencies can assess. Also, it seems important that stakeholder groups are sufficiently involved in bringing forward and translating learning experiences into new contexts. Taking the Norwegian social partners as an example, it appears that a thorough mobilisation of employers' and employees' representatives at all organisational levels could have contributed to a more successful valorisation of learning experiences and project results.
