Build on Your Experience: Introducing Higher Education at Work
This free resource, Build on Your Experience: Introducing Higher Education at Work, has been developed for people in work who are considering a work-based learning programme at higher education level. It has been created by learndirect and fdf, two organisations that are committed to helping people improve their education and prospects at work.
Many people are finding that flexible, work-based study options mean they can learn while working, without taking a career break. Understandably, they may have concerns as to whether work-based higher education is for them. Will it really be worth it? Will they be able to manage? What will be involved? What are the options and how do you go about finding out more?
For those who are thinking about higher level study but need to find out if it’s for them, this resource could be just what is needed. As well as providing lots of information, activities and links to relevant websites, it helps users to look in a new way at their day-to-day work. It helps users to draw out and build on the skills and competences they use in the workplace and to prepare for higher level learning.
