What is the potential of summer learning? Is summer an opportunity to harness learners and give them opportunities? When learners face a highly competitive and volatile economy - are good exam results sufficient? Most higher education establishments and organisations are looking for candidates who have the grades but can also demonstrate natural aptitudes. How will you encourage a child/young adult to participate in broadening their skills and experience this summer? I'm interested in corporate and education views on this. Your next appointment? Is there scope for corporations to offer summer work experience for young adults aspiring to higher education or employment? If so, what are the opportunities and are these mutually beneficial? Some managers have recruited 'off the cuff' i.e. looking at an individual rather than their academic background and have been highly successful with this strategy. I am aware of a number of law firms working on this principle. Your next applicant? Are Higher Education establishments willing to provide opportunities over the summer break for learners who may not have made the grade but are highly skilled and motivated to 'be someone'? Surely, the University or College does not come to a complete standstill over the summer break - are there opportunities for young people to gain experience in departments that are required to function over the break? Is there potential to hold 'summer seminars'? Your next apprentice? Not forgetting individuals, societies, charities, musicians, artists, authors etc... What could you offer a young learner? Your next opportunity? This is not a marketing ploy, I am passionate about providing opportunities for young people - If your organisation would welcome associating with Learning Tutor to publish opportunities on our website, please get in touch.
