They are a fantastic opportunity to work with local organisations developing new skills and getting an insight into potential career roles. There are currently two types of module based work opportunity in the College.
Weekly - The length of time required for these opportunities varies depending on your course of study. They can take place in a variety of organisations and will involve you gaining an understanding the nature of various jobs roles and tasks associated with the organisation, they may also include small project work. Organisations that students have worked with include Lincolnshire County Council, City of Lincoln Council, East Midlands Ambulance Service, OpenPlan, Environment Agency, Whisby Nature Reserve, and Inzpire to name a few.
Consultancy Project - Students work on a Consultancy Project for an organisation developing, their research, data collection and analytical skills. A project brief is agreed at the start of the module and the organisation provides relevant information to assist the student in completing the project. The organisation will have regular progress meetings with the student during the Semester. The student produces a report for the ‘client’. Organisation’s students have worked with include YMCA, Lincolnshire County Council, Lincolnshire Housing Partnership, Natural England, NHS Aseptic Suite, Aparon, Lincolnshire Community & Voluntary Service, and Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue.
