WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING<br />
Micro-Placements in Industry<br />
The <strong>IfE</strong> is offering micro-placements within the industry. The<br />
uniqueness of this concept is that the micro-placement modules<br />
are integrated within qualifications that are targeted towards initial<br />
teachers’ training and specialisation in education. We seek to build<br />
a stronger bridge between the education sector and the world of<br />
work through this initiative.<br />
MICRO-PLACEMENT<br />
VIDEO TESTIMONIALS<br />
The micro-placement modules are found in two programmes<br />
offered by the <strong>IfE</strong>:<br />
• Within the Bachelor of Education (Hons), the microplacement<br />
module carries six (6) ECTS, with 90 hours of<br />
hands-on training<br />
• As an MQF level 7 Award (10 ECTS), the programme is<br />
targeting educators already working in the field who are<br />
primarily seeking to further their continuous professional<br />
development by making their teaching practices more<br />
relevant in an ever-growing knowledge-based economy,<br />
through a work experience of 180 hours in an industry of their<br />
choice.<br />
at AMIS<br />
at Talbot & Bons<br />
at Rise Foundation<br />
Micro-placement usually take place during the summer months as follows:<br />
MICRO-PLACEMENT DURATION PERIOD<br />
Bachelor of Education (Hons) 90 hours of placement June – August<br />
Award in Micro-Placement in Industry 180 hours of placement June – August<br />
Through these modules, our course participants will gain additional skills through collaboration, networking,<br />
and critical thinking. This experience will provide an opportunity for our course participants to be engaged<br />
within the community in which they are learning, and therefore, they will eventually be able to incorporate<br />
practical examples within the classroom.<br />
These modules will allow course participants to experience the transition from a classroom-based scenario<br />
to working within an industry of their choice, an experience which they will refer to when preparing their<br />
students holistically for the future.
