ClassBubbles Preparing for Work Challenge Day

Overview

A new, interactive workshop which engages your staff and students in a fun, fast paced learning experience. The students constantly interact with the teacher enabling key points to be brought out and developed. Students can see each others ideas as they tweet them to the whiteboard so they quickly learn from one another with the tasks building in complexity and depth. Because they tweet their ideas as they do on social networking sites like Facebook they immediately identify with the learning method. As each task is visibly timed and short the students experience a fast paced, interactive process and they ‘learn by doing’.

Cost

A maximum of 30 teams are allowed but these can be individuals or teams of 6 within classrooms. Internet access is required and each team or individual will need access to a notebook or computer.

The day includes a remote business expert who "drives" the session, an E4A facilitator to assist your teaching staff and access to the interactive and engaging learning environment which is used to drive the day. Your teachers act as facilitators as the system challenges the students to "tweet" in their responses so that to the students it feels like they are on their favouritie social networking sites. The teachers are then free to help the students draw out the learning without having to control the delivery. This innovative learning process also gives you a CPD opportunity for your teaching staff.

To provide this totally involving learning experience the cost is £1500 plus VAT (which can be reclaimed) and if teams of 6 are used in an average sized school then the cost per learner is a competitive £8.33 plus VAT per learner.

Sometimes it is not possible to arrange a full day in the timetable and so we divided the "Preparing for work" day into 6 modules which costs £190 plus VAT per module for up to 30 teams or learners. Each module is purchased seperately allowing you to pick and mix. Each module stands alone and lasts about an 1 hour. The remote business expert "drives" the lesson allowing you the teacher to facilitate the discussion.

The modules are:

• Develop awareness of their personal skills and the job market
• Analyse a job advert
• Create a cover letter and CV which reflect what the employer is looking for
• Improve their interview technique
• Increase their awareness of Health and Safety at work
• Learn Job Search techniques
