Upcoming Events
BRAND STUDENT
BRAND STUDENT
ASET Office, Wednesday 20th June (10am - 4pm)
The Burton Street Foundation, Sheffield £155 (ASET members)/£180(non-members)
How do your students and graduates stand out from the crowd? How do they show they have that added extra, in a highly competitive graduate job market?
Personal branding develops a student's and graduate's self awareness and reflective learning skills to link their passions, key personal attributes and strengths to better demonstrate their value with a crystal clear message, "Choose me and you will get...."!
The internet and social media is an excellent way to promote yourself, but do students and graduates always portray the right image? Excellent academic and co curricular profiles need to be credibly portrayed in order to be seen as a viable employee and great personal branding can make the difference in proving they are the perfect fit for a prospective employer.
This workshop will outline what Personal Branding is, the key do’s and don’ts of personal branding for both students and graduates, and define a process through Work Based Learning and reflection to help them create their ‘BRAND YOU‘!
Last booking date: Wednesday 13th June

Placements to Employability: Taking a whole curriculum approach to Employability
Bournemouth & Poole College Friday 6th July (10am - 4pm) £155 (ASET members)/£180(non-members)
Perhaps you have expertise in supporting placement students but are now being asked to become involved in curriculum design and development more broadly associated with employability? Or you have experience in your subject based curriculum but are new to placements and employability?
This staff development workshop is designed as a taster session in Higher Education course design and development, focussing on curriculum based employability. It looks at the wide variety of initiatives and resources out there and how these can be assessed and accredited within the curriculum. We will also contrast employability in the curriculum with employability through the curriculum i.e. how broader teaching, learning and assessment strategies throughout a programme can impact on employability. The intended outcome of the session is to enable you to use your expertise from your placement or subject-based experience to work with your colleagues in your own institutions to appropriately embed placement and other employability related activities in the curriculum.
Last booking date: Friday 29th June
To book for this event please contact the ASET office: aset@asetonline.org or 0114 234 5197

Bespoke Sessions
ASET is always open to discussions on running bespoke sessions at institutions. We try and make these as easy to host as possible by offering to split invoices across faculties, allow institutions to invite and charge delegates from partner colleges etc. Prices start from £700 for a full day with unlimited delegates (subject only to the size of the room you can provide). We are a non-profit making organisation so the rates only subsequently increase by virtue of any third party consultants we deem appropriate to bring in.
We can run sessions on one topic or can mix and match different parts to cover multiple areas.
Some of the core topics we can offer include:
- An Introduction to Work Placement Management
- ASET and QAA Codes of Practice for Work-Based and Placement Learning
- Marketing for Placements
- Equal Opportunities for Work Placements
- Health and Safety for Work Placements
- IT Systems to Manage Placements
- Working with International Students
- International Placements
- Assessment and Accreditation of Placement Learning
- Disability, the DDA and Work Placements
- Foundation Degrees and Work-Based Learning
- Innovation in Placement Assessment
- Wikis, Blogs and Podcasts (New Placement Technologies)
- Reflective and Experiential Learning
Please feel free to suggest any other relevant areas that you would like staff development training on.

Qualification
In association with AGCAS, NCWE and NASES a professional qualification programme in the Management of Student Work Experience was launched in March 2008 at University of Reading. This suite of qualifications have recently transferred to the University of Warwick who offer a Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and Masters in the Management of Student Work Experience.
Entry is open to all those who are in placement centres, job shops, student volunteering or similar services; whilst the qualification is taught at postgraduate level and successful completion will lead to the award of a Postgraduate certificate or diploma applications are welcomed from those without a first degree, although experience and a keen interest in this field are essential.
The programme is delivered through a mixture of distance learning through an online virtual learning environment and some three day residential courses, giving students an opportunity to mix with others in similar roles and positions while they learn.
This is an important and growing sector and this qualification offers those involved an exciting opportunity to further their own professional development.
