Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Complete a skills audit; produce a CV, develop and negotiate a learning agreement, undertake personal development techniques, consider Kolb's experiential learning cycle and apply it to work/placement experience; undertake and complete a project/WBL placement according to stated aims and objectives.
Additional Information:This module mainly takes place in a work environment either employed or placement and may be paid or unpaid. This module requires the students to identify and obtain an appropriate workplace opportunity, either in their existing workplace, or in an organisation in a sector of industry relevant to their future aspirations where they will develop transferable skills.
Students are encouraged to obtain placements themselves prior to the commencement of the course at level 4, however support will be given once students have enrolled. Tutors have numerous industry contacts and the College employs a member of staff who is the work placement officer for our section. It is also feasible to utilise your existing employment (within constraints). It is important that throughout the learning, students consider management perspectives and reflect upon this in their learning.
