Last Year’s Event
The 2011 Conference was held at Leeds Metropolitan University, Headingley Campus. The theme, Positive Impact of Placements : Enhancing Employability in Challenging Times, proved to be of great interest and 96 delegates attended in total. Of particular interest was the Opening Keynote Session, from Susan Nash of the Helena Kennedy Foundation. Day 1 also included 3 CPD sessions covering pertinent and popular areas of interest:
1 Brand Student
2 Evidencing Your Impact - getting started in smallscale research
3 Finding Opportunities in Innovative Places
For the first time, the 2011 conference featured a wide programme of workshops AND Research papers, furthering our plans to develop a research base for work based and placement learning for your reference. Papers will be published in a separate document and will be available online.
The conference also saw the launch of the ASET Research Placement Bursaries for summer 2012, further details of which can be found here: 2011 Research Student Bursary and on the Student Bursary page : Student Bursaries and the return of the ASET Student Essay Competition : Student Essay Competition Flyer 2011
