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

SUMMARY:Engaging with SMEs\, TSOs and Alternative Placement Providers
DESCRIPTION:Not all students aspire to a placement with a global brand\, household name or large organisation. For students studying some degrees\, placements with an SME (small to medium sized organisation)\, in the 3rd sector\, social enterprises and the like are attractive or\, simply put\, much more likely. However\, such organisations may not have established placement programmes in place or opportunities readily available. \nThey might not have considered hiring a student before\, and so there can be real challenges when reaching out to and engaging with this type of employer (and engaging students with such opportunities too). This participative staff development workshop aims to explore and consider techniques for engaging with these organisations\, ideas to attract students\, how to support these placement providers\, and what to do before\, during and after placements. There will be plentiful opportunities to interact with other delegates during the workshop\, and to hear about as well as share good practice examples from participants’ institutions. \nBook Now

SUMMARY:Supporting International Students with Placements
DESCRIPTION:Placements and work based learning opportunities can be extremely attractive to our international cohort\, within this workshop we will consider how to effectively manage your offer by exploring approaches and solutions for some of the common challenges that may be faced by placement practitioners\, students and placement partners. \nWithin this workshop we will consider the specific needs of international students and compare how these might vary from the needs of home students. Delegates will be encouraged to review the monitoring and placement support processes and mechanisms currently in place within their institution. We will discuss challenges arising from relevant contemporary issues e.g. visas\, post-Brexit\, remote working\, economic factors etc and identify ways in which to engage employers and encourage workforce diversification in order to benefit our incoming international market. \nBook Now

SUMMARY:Widening Participation and Placements
DESCRIPTION:Discussions surrounding widening participation and the social mobility of our students are perennially on the agenda\, nationally\, in the HE sector. For those of us on the ground\, what can we do\, practically\, to increase the take up of placements by students from a range of disadvantaged (or less well-served) backgrounds? \nHow can we reach out to and better engage students with employability in a difficult economic climate and to support the development of their social capital? Furthermore\, what suggestions can we share to engage employers in order to further these broad aims? \nIn an interactive session of participation and dialogue\, our course leaders will facilitate discussions on ways to support the employability of disadvantaged student groups and ways to potentially overcome challenges and barriers to participation in placements. \nDelegates will have the opportunity to network online\, and to build their own toolkit of practical ideas and top tips to take away from the workshop. \nBook Now

SUMMARY:ASET Hub: Maintaining Good Practice.
DESCRIPTION:Higher Education is operating under intense strain: Institutions are being asked to do more with less\, and the ripple effects are felt across every part of the student journey—including placements.  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.

SUMMARY:ASET Hub: Maintaining Good Practice
DESCRIPTION:Higher Education is operating under intense strain: Institutions are being asked to do more with less\, and the ripple effects are felt across every part of the student journey—including placements.  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.

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
