Pilot project: work-based learning top-up degrees (Sept 2007 - July 2008)

The study identified clear support for such a route from current and past students and employers in the Sussex area, and, as a result, the SLN Board identified further funding to enable the development of a pilot. The aim of the pilot was the test out a number of issues involved in establishing work-based learning and look at the wider role of work-based learning across the curriculum. The year long pilot study linked to work in three of the existing SLN curriculum strands and the final report features three very different approaches and case studies, while illuminating some of the issues which providers need to consider when developing work-based learning programmes.
