Teacher Training - Maximising the Potential of Work Experience

Mô tả khóa học

This is a practical, hands-on, participative course which focuses on maximising the value of a work experience programme for both the teachers who organise it and their students. This course will increase the participants’ knowledge of preparing their students for work experience helping them to consider their strengths to best present themselves by CV and interview to potential host companies.

This course is of significant benefit to those who plan, organise and execute work experience programmes for their students, and who wish to share ideas on best practice in the field with colleagues from across Europe. You can improve the overall approach to raising awareness of the value of Work Experience programmes in their schools and, as a result, the learner outcomes for their students.
