Digital Work Experience Platform

许多学生从来没有机会获得工作经验。由于2019冠状病毒病大流行，即使是那些幸运地获得安置的人也永远不会看到这些安置得到履行。对于所有这些学生来说，这代表着他们职业发展的重大挫折，而且对于那些来自更不利背景的年轻人来说，这有可能扩大已经很明显的差距。我们创建数字工作体验平台（DWEP）的提议将有助于解决这一问题，为来自各种背景的大量学生提供与雇主共同创建和支持的结构化课程。与在线雇主会面不同，DWEP将更侧重于复制通常通过现场实习获得的关键成果。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、学术导师的指导意见和雇主反馈。通过在现有的Start平台（[www.startprofile.com）] b[0]上构建DWEP，该平台已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，除了目前受Covid-19影响的学生外，还将在未来几年使数十万学生受益。DWEP将现有的Start技术与业界领先的学习管理系统（包括安全视频会议和协作工具）相结合，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、学院和雇主网络合作，为学生设计和策划高质量的数字化工作体验项目。结果将是一个灵活的解决方案——任何学校或大学都可以在同一时间使用，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——能够参与该课程的设计和交付。[0]: http://www.startprofile.com%29/

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/
