Aims
The aim of this module is to provide the student with an opportunity to gain experience and insight into at least one professional work environment. This will be achieved by undertaking a period of industry study with a host organisation or company involved in the performance, design and production industries. The work placement should enable the student to utilise and practice many of the skills learnt during levels one and two, develop new practical skills and make possible contacts for future employment.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Develop and refine self-presentation and communication
skills.
2.
Utilise and develop practical skills learnt at LIPA within a professional context.
3.
Appraise professional roles and responsibilities within
specific performance design and production industries
4.
Evaluate their own work in relation to professional
practice and reflect upon their future opportunities for
employment
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The module will be introduced with a series of lectures on professional practice and the possible roles that may be encountered on a work placement. These will include:
• Writing letters and emails, CV’s, and verbal communication skills.
• Third Year students discussing their experiences from Level Two.
• Visits from potential placement host organizations.
• Health and Safety issues related to the work placement
The lectures will be followed up with tutorials at points during the year as each student negotiates and secures placement activity. The student will then spend the allotted time away and write up and evaluate the experience in private study time.
