 with Continuing Professional Development (CPD)?

If you were to apply for your current job now, would you get it?
Are you sure that your skills and knowledge are up to date?
Are you making the most of every opportunity, giving your best and receiving the best possible reward for your efforts?
Are you ready for the next stage in your career?If you can answer 'Yes' to all of these questions, you are probably already involved in a CPD programme.  Congratulations!

But if you've answered 'No' take a look at LWTT's IMPACT's CPD Network

2 Essay Assignments of 3000 to 5000 words

1 Placement Report of 3000 to 4000 words
2 Essay Assignments of 3000 to 5000 words
1 oral presentation for each piece of written work

The subjects of the six essay assignments relate to the six study units detailed above.

In addition students competence to practice is assessed by a placement supervisor from the agency the student undertakes their placement with.

Support Mechanisms

Students participating in this programme are matriculated as full-time students of the University of Glasgow and as a result have full access to the range of support and resources available from the institution.

In addition the support available to students on the BME Linked Work & Training Programme are broader than those available to students in traditional study.  The tutor plays a key role in providing tailored support based on the student's identified needs.  Peer support is also a central component of the model.

Learning Component

SCVO's key role is to share learning among voluntary sector and community organisations and a range of public sector stakeholders around the experience and outcomes of designing and delivering the training programme in ways which dismantle barriers to skills development and employment progression faced by black and minority ethnic groups.  The experiences of students will clearly inform this process.
