Developing a student-centred placement preparation framework
Overview
The project will develop a more student-centred placement preparation framework for students of international business, tourism or marketing with French. The project will enhance the student experience and improve employability skills through students taking greater responsibility for their own learning in their placement period in terms of preparation, engagement and outcomes. Students will take responsibility for their learning through active, independent, and interdependent involvement in the following ways: Firstly, in preparation for placement, through peer mentoring, working collaboratively to provide solutions for situations they will face, and determining the content of the pre-placement module. Secondly, during placement, students will act as core researchers into current transferable business practice in their placement company and produce company dossiers to inform their mentoring of peers during and following their placement.
