A visual planning tool for enterprise education

Abstract

Session overview:

Student Futures plan for graduate outcomes and employability includes the goal of every programme having at least once module that includes work based learning (WBL). WBL can be broken down into 3 categories, as placement ( learning in situ with a third party), project (working on a real life project from a third party) or portfolio (accreditation of, for example, an internship). This tool supports the project route.

The tool is based on the open source Business Model Canvas (BMC). The premise of the BMC is that components can be quickly sketched out. The EntEd Model Canvas uses the same technique to show the linked decisions required.

I would like to share this colleagues in a formal setting for feedback.  I would also like to invite volunteers to take part in testing the tool, as part of the support Students Futures can offer. 

The tool can be seen here in draft form at Canva, The LJMU Ent/ED canvas.

Key learning points from this session:

• Enterprise Education is a way to engage in work based learning.
• Bringing problem based learning into the curriculum can be supported by Student Futures via the Employer.Engagement Team, Enterprise Education practitioners in the Start-up Hub and Careers Consultants.
• A visual planning tool can speed up the process.
