Abstract	This monograph explores the major categories of alternative work patterns, e.g., flexitime, permanent part-time employment, job sharing, the compressed work week, and reduced work time. Advantages and disadvantages of each type are discussed, and new insight is offered into an unexplored dimension of the major types of alternative work patterns: their differing implications for adult worker participation in education and training activities. After examining the implications of these differing schemes on educational and training opportunity, the paper sets forth a series of recommendations for the attention of business, labor, education, and government officials concerned to assess and seize the opportunities present in more flexible work arrangements.
