QQI Level 5 Work Experience
The purpose of the Work Experience course online is to develop the skills needed to enable you to utilise learning opportunities presented in the work environment, apply work skills to consolidate learning in the vocational area and understand how work is planned and organised at different levels in a specific vocational area.
You will also develop critical awareness of the changing nature of work, set achievable goals for work experience and appreciate the importance of safety and welfare in the workplace. Alongside developing capabilities, both personal and vocational, to successfully meet challenges in the workplace, you will review career choices in light of your own aspirations, experience, abilities and available options. While exploring future employment opportunities.
Who Should Attend?
Our Work Experience course will cater for a variety of adult learners ranging from school leavers with no previous experience in the healthcare sector to more mature adults with relevant life or work experience. Some of the latter will have previously had some education and training in healthcare. More mature adults will frequently be seeking new career opportunities, be working in the home or currently working in the healthcare sector. These will tend to opt for the part-time learning route to achieving the award.
