Recenzii

This new edition offers some excellent updates on an already seminal text for students engaging in work-based learning. I particularly welcome the focus on personal and professional development, and opportunities for quality self-reflection.
This is key reading for students and practitioners in the field of work-based learning. Two valuable aspects of this book are the regular exercises and case studies which are informative and interesting.
This book provides vital insights into the latest areas of thinking around work-based learning. Building on the strong platform that the authors established in its former edition, this new edition contains valuable updates, including coverage of the role of apprenticeships as a form of work-applied learning, and provides a renewed frame of reference in light of the changing context that students are facing today.
