Digital Work Experience Platform

许多学生从未有机会获得工作经验。由于新冠肺炎疫情的爆发，即使那些幸运地获得了实习机会的学生也永远看不到这些实习机会。对于所有这些学生来说，这是他们职业发展的一个重大挫折，而且有可能扩大来自弱势背景的年轻人已经存在的巨大差距。我们创建数字工作体验平台（“DWEP”）的建议将有助于解决这个问题，为来自各种背景的大量学生提供结构化的课程，与雇主共同创建并得到雇主的支持。与在线雇主接触不同，DWEP将更多地关注复制通常通过现场安置取得的关键成果。因此，DWEP的主要特点将包括模拟工作任务，独立研究，反思性学习和评估，学术导师的牧灵投入和雇主反馈。通过在现有的Start平台上构建DWEP（[www.startprofile.com）][0] -已经被英国和国际上数千所学校，学院和雇主使用-它将是可访问的，可持续的和可扩展的，DWEP将把现有的Start技术与行业领先的学习管理系统相结合，包括安全的视频会议和协作工具，确保能够快速构建和部署稳定安全的平台，以满足这一迫切需求。为了实现我们的目标，我们将与我们广泛的学校合作，学院和雇主网络，为学生设计和策划高质量的数字工作体验计划。其结果将是一个灵活的解决方案-一个可以使用的任何学校或学院在同一时间，以适应他们的时间表和学生。它还将使各种各样的雇主-无论大小-参与该方案的设计和实施。[0]：http://www.startprofile.com%29/网站

Many students never get the chance to access work experience.As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, even those fortunate enough to have secured placements will never see those placements fulfilled. For all of these students, this represents a major setback in their career development and it has the potential to widen an already significant gap for those young people from more disadvantaged backgrounds.Our proposal to create a Digital Work Experience Platform ("DWEP") will help address this issue, providing large numbers of students from all backgrounds with access to a structured programme, co-created with and supported by employers.Different to online employer encounters, the DWEP will focus more on replicating crucial outcomes typically achieved through on-site placements. Key features of the DWEP will therefore include simulated work-based tasks, independent research, reflective learning and assessment, pastoral input from academic tutors and employer feedback.By building the DWEP on the existing Start platform ([www.startprofile.com)][0] - already used by thousands of schools, colleges and employers in the UK and internationally - it will be accessible, sustainable and scalable, benefitting hundreds of thousands of students for years to come in addition to those impacted now by Covid-19\.The DWEP will blend the existing Start technology with an industry-leading Learning Management System including secure video-conferencing and collaboration tools, ensuring that a stable and secure platform can be built and deployed quickly to meet this urgent need.To achieve our goal, we will collaborate with our extensive school, college and employer network to design and curate high quality digital work experience programmes for students. The result will be a flexible solution -- one which can be used by any school or college at a time to suit their timetable and students. It will also enable a wide range of employers - large and small - to engage with the programme, in both its design and delivery.[0]: http://www.startprofile.com%29/
