Description of module content:

This module is focused on designing and developing career-related learning experiences for pupils, students, and other service users. There are two main topics to the module. Firstly, there is a focus on the skills to design and deliver interactive group work. Secondly, a focus on learning programmes to deliver career education.
For the first topic you will be supported to develop the skills to design, lead and facilitate an active, participative career-related learning experience for a group. You will also develop skills for learning in groups.
You will build on this in the second topic by extending your learning beyond stand-alone events, and develop skills to design longer programmes of career learning. This will involve exploring the career education curriculum in educational institutions.

This learning will be underpinned by analysing theories and concepts of career learning.
