Student Benefits: experience on the manufacturing floor, see/touch/feel all parts of the business, access
and awareness of job opportunities, feedback, understanding how to craft resumes and develop
employability skills. Students have developed both hard and soft skills including technical
abilities. Work based learning has helped students to explore different career paths and
industries as a means to identify their strengths and and areas of interest.
Employer benefit: build connections with future workforce, develop a greater sense of community
presence and branding, refining what skills future employees need most. Our business
employers have built a pipeline of connections and networks. Employers now have more
attractive candidates that are coming in with a proven ability to apply their skills in a real-world
context. This leads to better job prospects.
