Uppsatsen behandlar utbildning och kompetensutveckling på arbetsplatser i Sverige utifrån ett arbetsrättsligt perspektiv. Varken arbetsgivares eller arbetstagares utbildningsansvar är i vidare utsträckning lagreglerat. Rättspraxis visar dock att både arbetsgivare och arbetstagare har ett visst ansvar för kompetensutvecklingen på arbetsplatser. Huvudansvaret får anses ligga på arbetsgivare. Arbetsg
