As practitioners we are often balancing complex requirements\, ensuring that students receive the personalised support they deserve. Good practice becomes the anchor that helps us navigate competing demands\, protect the student experience and uphold the integrity of work based learning. \nASET Hubs are a FREE member benefit. This Hub is an opportunity to pause and reconnect around the principles that underpin effective placement provision. Together\, we’ll explore what “good practice” looks like\, how we can adapt without compromising quality\, and how we continue to champion meaningful\, inclusive\, and transformative placement experiences for every student.

As student expectations evolve and the labour market shifts\, enterprise and start‑up pathways may be exactly what you need to strengthen and diversify your placement and experiential learning opportunities. \nBook Now URL:https://www.asetonline.org/event/entrepreneurship-freelancing-placement-learning/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.asetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/join-aset-working-groups.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="ASET":MAILTO:aset@asetonline.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260602T091500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260602T120000 DTSTAMP:20251211T122232Z CREATED:20241128T154730Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251211T122232Z UID:9704-1780391700-1780401600@www.asetonline.org SUMMARY:Resilience and Placements DESCRIPTION:In this practical and participatory session\, the salient topic of resilience will be considered within the context of placements and work-based learning. What is “resilience”? How does a resilient applicant or resilient placement student present themselves? When might resilience be a negative concept? Can we influence employers to develop resilient students and jobseekers? \nWhat can placement practitioners do to support students with developing resilience whilst they navigate the choppy waters of recruitment and selection? What techniques can be put to use to strengthen resilience whilst students embark upon the start of their professional working lives on placement? How can we reflect upon our own capacity for resilience and how can we utilise this to inform our work in HE? \nDrawing upon the field of positive psychology\, including theories of wellbeing and growth mindset theories\, ideas and tips will be shared and discussed to enable delegates to create a toolkit of suggestions and approaches to take back to their day-to-day roles. \nBook Now URL:https://www.asetonline.org/event/resilience-and-placements/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.asetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/EE.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="ASET":MAILTO:aset@asetonline.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260611T091500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260611T123000 DTSTAMP:20260210T122856Z CREATED:20260210T122133Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260210T122856Z UID:11265-1781169300-1781181000@www.asetonline.org SUMMARY:Leverage AI Within Your Placement Practice DESCRIPTION:This ASET workshop will focus on how AI can be used and harnessed by ASET members\, typically placement practitioners\, in their day-to-day work. The session will cover the basics of AI\, with an introduction to robotic process automation\, getting started with building chatbots and will include our trainer’s hints and tips on how to get the most out of generative AI. With practical and engaging activities to get you started\, or implementing improvements\, with using AI there will be plenty to take away from the session.

Participants will be furnished with a basis from which they can develop their own approaches\, plans and manage the challenges likely to be faced in their jobs. \nThis workshop is the perfect gateway for all work based and placement learning practitioners; work placement managers\, officers\, administrators and academic placement tutors\, particularly those with little experience\, who are new to their role\, about to be appointed\, or those simply wanting a refresher course. The session is designed to introduce all the fundamental aspects of working in the placements field. \nBook Now URL:https://www.asetonline.org/event/introduction-to-work-placement-management/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.asetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/54788742910_410138a3e4_o-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="ASET":MAILTO:aset@asetonline.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261014T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261014T131500 DTSTAMP:20260623T144709Z CREATED:20230824T092322Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260623T144709Z UID:7913-1791970200-1791983700@www.asetonline.org SUMMARY:Managing Health\, Safety and Welfare for Student Placements DESCRIPTION:Formerly entitled Risk Assessment and Due Diligence\, this workshop builds upon and develops these themes. Having an involvement in or being responsible for the process of risk assessing placements can feel daunting. The majority of placement practitioners are unlikely to be experts in the field of health and safety law or student welfare. \n\nAre you confident in your risk assessment processes before placement?\nDo you know what you should be doing in terms of due diligence in approving placements?\nDo you know what insurances are required or advised for placements in the UK? Overseas?\nDo you realise the extent of the university’s legal liability for all of this?\nWhat paperwork and proformas can support your processes and help ensure legal compliance?\n\nThis workshop focusses on establishing manageable\, proportionate and appropriate risk assessment and due diligence processes for placement provision. Here\, we draw upon the ASET Good Practice Guide for the Management of Health\, Safety and Welfare of Student Placements\, as well as the QAA Quality Code. It is aimed at university staff who work with student placements/work-based learning\, whether new to the position or experienced and wanting a refresher/update\, academic or administrative. Our experienced workshop facilitators will share both knowledge\, as well as creating opportunities to encourage delegate participation. \nBook Now URL:https://www.asetonline.org/event/managing-health-safety-and-welfare-for-student-placements/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.asetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/workshop-image2.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="ASET":MAILTO:aset@asetonline.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261110T091500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261110T121500 DTSTAMP:20260623T145230Z CREATED:20231219T153938Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260623T145230Z UID:8677-1794302100-1794312900@www.asetonline.org SUMMARY:Operationalising Risk Management Processes DESCRIPTION:Within this workshop we will consider the operational aspects of risk management for work based and placement learning. \nDelegates will bring some experience of placement management to enable them to examine the use of Risk Profiling that contributes to making informed judgements. Within the workshop we will explore risk within the domestic and international context and also appraise how to engage all stakeholders\, including students\, in the risk management process. \nBook Now URL:https://www.asetonline.org/event/operationalising-risk-management-processes/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.asetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/workshop-image5.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="ASET":MAILTO:aset@asetonline.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261111T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261111T121500 DTSTAMP:20260623T145431Z CREATED:20250710T084050Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260623T145431Z UID:10396-1794389400-1794399300@www.asetonline.org SUMMARY:Integrating and Embedding WBPL in the Curriculum DESCRIPTION:This new ASET workshop will take an in-depth look at integrating high quality experiential learning and work based and placement learning (WBPL) opportunities into the curriculum. Within this session delegates will consider different types of WBPL\, along with models and choice available when embedding within the curriculum. This will allow you to identify your own HEI strategic need and how to link opportunities that align effectively. \nDrawing on practice and research at a variety of HE institutions this session will provide an opportunity for delegates to develop the knowledge and agency to support conversations that encourage embedding experiential learning and WBPL in the curriculum. \nBook Now URL:https://www.asetonline.org/event/integrating-and-embedding-wbpl-in-the-curriculum/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.asetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/workshop-image4.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="ASET":MAILTO:aset@asetonline.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261119T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261119T121500 DTSTAMP:20260625T082251Z CREATED:20241128T154117Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260625T082251Z UID:9700-1795080600-1795090500@www.asetonline.org SUMMARY:Equality\, Diversity and Inclusion for Placements DESCRIPTION:This workshop will look at equality\, diversity and inclusion for work based and placement learning. No need for any prior EDI experience\, this session will introduce you to relevant reference points\, sources\, key duties and themes. \nThere will be an introduction to the equality legislation and our responsibilities and we will flag specialist sources of EDI information for the sector. We will discuss why we need to focus on particular protected characteristics\, minoritised communities and those often excluded. This will include taking a look at how employability or placement performance is judged\, and why in some cases\, we might need to think again. \nWe’ll consider how to take a positive and intersectional approach to inclusion so you can get your practice right from the start. We’ll create a safe space for discussion\, addressing direct issues and making plenty of space for contributions from delegates on the day. \nBook Now URL:https://www.asetonline.org/event/equality-diversity-and-inclusion-for-placements/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.asetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/aset-hubs.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="ASET":MAILTO:aset@asetonline.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261209T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261209T121500 DTSTAMP:20260623T145805Z CREATED:20240131T165831Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260623T145805Z UID:8926-1796808600-1796818500@www.asetonline.org SUMMARY:Accessing and Sustaining Work Based Learning With Neurodivergent Students DESCRIPTION:This workshop focuses on identifying and responding to the ways in which neurodivergent students may access\, or not\, Work Based and Placement Learning (WBPL). With the support of experienced diversity practitioners we will seek to apply a variety of approaches to the WBPL journey to increase the likelihood of successful experiences for this varied cohort of students. \nBook Now URL:https://www.asetonline.org/event/accessing-and-sustaining-work-based-learning-with-neurodivergent-students/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.asetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Neurodivergent.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="ASET":MAILTO:aset@asetonline.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
