Module Indicative Content
Students will evaluate their experience and aspirations in order to plan a suitable programme for their chosen progression route. Research will be undertaken to identify the criteria needed to reach personal goals, and skills development planned to meet those needs.
Input should include information from progression route areas, e.g. University, business planning, potential employers, entrepreneurs, Prince's Trust, Shell Livewire, financial advisors, Design Council, British Fashion Council etc.
Students will plan a package of supporting evidence to enable them to follow their identified progression route, to include a physical portfolio of work, a virtual portfolio and relevant written documentation (e.g. CV, covering letter, completed application forms etc.) If they are considering an academic pathway, their evidence will show consultation with academic contacts (e.g. University tutor, university students or recent graduates).
