Nurturing enterprise in work-based learning

Laura wrote a Chapter called Nurturing Enterprise in Work Based Learning – this work brings together case studies and research that she has conducted into Work Based Learning and packages it for a wider audience, with a specific aim of informing placement providers. “To any graduate seeking employment, it is not just about getting a job, it’s being employable throughout life, something that is so important in the film and television industry because of the very nature of the work, with its ever-changing technologies, funding and patterns of work (for example, the growing use of freelances instead of employing staff). Learning the skills is all very well, but they need to be transferred effectively back into the workplace; this is why enterprise is becoming ever more important as a tangible skill and why it is important that it remains a fundamental principle of higher education.”
