WR034 - Work Related Skills (VCE VM)
Overview
This unit provides a focus for the development and presentation of portfolios. Students will learn to communicate relevant skills, experiences and capabilities to education providers and future employers. Students will use a range of verbal, written and practical strategies to communicate their skills, knowledge and attributes, including visual appeal, varied and appropriate content. The unit aims to develop and apply student knowledge and skills relating to portfolios, including the features and characteristics of a high-quality physical and/or digital portfolio. The unit includes the formal presentation of a completed portfolio in a panel style interview and an evaluation of the end product. Incursions, excursions and applied learning relevant to ‘real life’ learning experiences are used to ensure that what is learnt in the classroom is connected to scenarios and experiences outside the classroom, making that connection as immediate and transparent as possible
