Embedding Employability Framework
Enhance
The Enhance stage aims to embed a range of opportunities where students can practically apply their knowledge and skills.
Our experiential learning continuum recognises that different experiences are needed for different contexts and introduces a variety of experiential learning opportunities across three categories:
- Learning about work: a short one-time experience that helps students understand the key concepts, trends and practices relevant to a particular industry/sector.
- Learning through work: an experience premised around an authentic scenario that simulates elements of a professional role or broader aspects of an industry/sector.
- Learning in work: a longer experience where students apply their disciplinary knowledge and/or disciplinary & future skills developed as part of their studies within the workplace
What support is provided at this stage?
- Our Experiential Learning Continuum, which emphasises the dynamic nature of experiential learning and recognises that different experiences are needed for different contexts.
- Guides to different formats of experiential learning and Case Studies demonstrating good practice
- You can also contact your College Careers & Employability Manager to find out how to connect with relevant alumni and employers, or to discuss how an experiential learning opportunity could be incorporated as part of your course.
These guides and case studies will continue to be developed throughout the pilot in the academic year 2025/2026.
