Post-Experience Education is the trend towards lifelong, continued education. It includes Senior Leadership Apprenticeships, Open Programmes and Continuous Professional Development (CPD), Executive Education and MBAs. In this context, this two-volume work advances current scholarship around post-experience education and articulates its boundaries. Volume I focuses on the theory and concepts and covers the purpose, history, research gaps as well as drivers and tensions, amongst other topics. Volume 2 focuses on the practice of post-experience education, exploring professional pathways, ethics, sociological barriers, and doctoral education, to name a few.

Taken together, these contributed volumes mark a sea change in our understanding of the topic in a field where no underlying theory exists. Across the chapters, authors offer valuable insights and a more nuanced conceptualisation of the subject.
