This innovative model has been designed to give new learners an authentic context to a topic from their subject discipline. It involves learners undertaking authentic tasks and apply their own knowledge and experiences. Finally, a link to professional practise is provided through video interviews with professionals who put the topic into a real-world context. Presenting three simple steps called~ <em>Orientate, Apply, Connect<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Then, into <strong>Level Four<\/strong> where we offer learning activities to support the student\u2019s first steps into real world application of their discipline-subject, which is often experienced through a <strong>Live Project<\/strong> supported by the University\u2019s Venture Matrix team. Other learning activities offer ideas for you to help develop student\u2019s self-aware and to be open to exploring new ideas; along with digital technologies that benefit their studies, work and life situations.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Short Placement at Level Five<\/strong> is where students experience real-world performance and professional practice, they delve into and relate self to the wider world and get the opportunity to use digital applications in a professional context. We offer learning activities that help you prepare your students for their Short Placement experience, whether this be with an employer or exploring their own business ideas on an <a href=\"https:\/\/shuenterprise.co.uk\/enterprise-residency\/\"><strong>Enterprise Residency<\/strong><\/a>. We also provide a Virtual Short Placement Learning Resource that can support your students whilst carrying out their work experience.<\/p>\n<p>The Toolkit also provides learning activities that will help you get your students ready for their <strong>Sandwich Placement<\/strong> (Applied Professional Diploma) including a Virtual Sandwich Placement Learning Resource that can support your students whilst carrying out their work experience.<\/p>\n<p>The Toolkit offers insightful learning activities for you to build upon the student\u2019s level 5 Short Placement and\/or Sandwich Placements experience. These <strong>Level 6\/Level 7 (Integrated Masters)<\/strong> learning activities help your students capitalise on the professional connections they have built, plan and take professional career steps.<\/p>\n<p>At <strong>Level 7 (stand alone Masters)<\/strong> our learning activities suggest how you can help your students become the professional they want to be in their chosen field and build on their professional identity.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we also provide a <strong>Transition Model<\/strong> framework to help you support students make a positive transition through each academic year. The discipline-subject is at the heart of this framework with the student\u2019s work experience used as a tool to assist them in their reflection on their learning journey from year to year.<\/p>\n<p>The materials have been informed by colleagues from the areas of Careers, Applied Learning (Live Projects and Enterprise) and the Digital Skills team.\u00a0 Although, we are always there on hand to support our colleagues in the Colleges, our aim is that this site becomes a Community of Practice, where we can support each other in transforming the lives of our students and preparing them for their lives beyond University.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/highlyskilledemployment\/curriculum-model\/triangle-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1937\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1937\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/highlyskilledemployment\/curriculum-model\/triangle-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/highlyskilledemployment\/files\/2020\/07\/Triangle.png?fit=362%2C378&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"362,378\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Triangle\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/highlyskilledemployment\/files\/2020\/07\/Triangle.png?fit=362%2C378&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1937 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.shu.ac.uk\/highlyskilledemployment\/files\/2020\/07\/Triangle.png?resize=362%2C378&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Develop Graduate Outcomes Triangle.
