Brief for Placement

The aim of your placement is to increase your employability. This is defined as the set of competencies, demonstrated by a combination of knowledge, skills, and behaviours, that make individuals more likely to gain employment and be successful in their chosen occupation, benefiting themselves, the workforce, the community and the economy. The first three Interim Reports encouraged you to reflect on the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours you have developed, with the fourth shifting the focus to your personal development and how this will help you in future.

This, your final report, relates directly to the Learning Outcomes for this module. You should use your reflections in your previous interim reports to enable you to complete the template below using the headings provided; up to 250 words are allocated for each section.
