Students are employed as Graduate Level Apprenticeships and undertake a wide range tasks during their employment in a Civil Engineering and/or Construction context. In consultation with their supervisor, usually their line manager, and the module leader, each student develops employment-related and personal objectives in the format of a Learning Contract. The work toward and achievement of these objectives is detailed in a personal/technical reflective log and the STARL format is used to produce a report detailing the achievements made towards the objectives.

The learning outcomes assess the students’ knowledge and skills appropriate to their work-place with an emphasis on the development of business, technology and soft skills. This module is designed to develop critical reflective practice, skills and attitudes, and act as a focus for their continuous professional development.
