This module is intended to extend your existing employability skills whilst simultaneously developing your knowledge of contemporary issues in elite level sport. The majority of the module takes the form of work-based learning but this is preceded by the delivery of taught content through introductory online workbooks, workshops and directed readings. This material will allow you to investigate the value of work-based learning from a theoretical perspective both generally and within the world of sport. Additionally, key contemporary issues in elite level sport will be addressed. Within the first trimester of the module you will be required to submit a proposal with a learning plan and elevator pitch. The learning plan must explicitly outline the specific skills to be developed, or the application of existing skills within the context of elite sport. You will be required to illustrate the extent of your work-based learning and demonstrate your ability to apply your new knowledge and skills. The module requires that a process of critical reflection be undertaken in respect of the learning that has occurred and the extent to which you have developed and could apply skills which reflect the principles of entrepreneurship, e.g. creativity and inventiveness.
