This module encourages you to identify the skills likely to be required
in employment and to explore the concept
of employability. You'll receive introductory training in a
range of employment-related areas, such as equalities, communication,
self-management, teamwork, and sustainability.
You'll participate in a
range of activities, such as mentoring, volunteering and paid work,
to develop the personal and professional skills important for both employment
and successful study. You may base your work around one activity
or several, depending on the learning opportunities presented.
The module also includes classroom-based training sessions, supplemented and amplified by online
teaching material, information and examples.
Throughout the module you'll keep a multimedia
ePortfolio of your activity and progress. Your Supervisor will monitor this and provide feedback and suggestions for further development.
Online support from your peers and Supervisor
are an important part of this module. There will be a
range of group activities to address specific skills issues, for example,
communication and teamwork.
