Getting Started with University-level Work Based Learning

Getting Started with
University-Level Work Based Learning is a companion guide, written by experts,
to help those new to work based learning. The book is aimed at workers and
professionals considering, or just starting, a work based learning (WBL) programme.
It will also be of interest to employers considering a partnership with a
university to run a WBL programme for their employees.



The book is not academic - it is an easily accessible learners' guide to
university-level WBL programmes. It is not a study skills manual, although
there is some advice about studying. It is not a critique of the theoretical
basis of work based learning, although it does say something about the
principles behind such learning. It is intended to support you if you're
beginning, or even just thinking about, work based learning. It will also be a
companion throughout your studies.



The book draws from the experiences of the UK's leading universities and
captures the key issues that new work based learners should understand. It is
illustrated with case studies and quotes from WBL students, and aims to answer
all (or most of) the questions you will ever ask.



As
university-level work based learning continues to expand rapidly in the UK,
this book provides a much-needed guide to `getting started with WBL'.
