Description: How experiences with the workplace while at school affect young people after leaving school is the subject of this report. The experiences include those gained through work experience, school-based New Apprenticeships, part-time work and vocational placements in VET in Schools programs. Specific areas explored include the views of young people on the value of the various workplace experiences; for example, in relation to their staying at school and their post-school-to-work plans and pathways.

Description: We are conducting a Project “Curriculum Renewal in Exercise Science” (funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council and AAESS) with major aims to investigate the broad range of roles of Exercise Scientists in workplaces now and in the future, and to use these to align university education and work/ practical experiences to scopes of practice. The Project is using investigative tools comprising focus groups, benchmarking of this and related professions, literature reviews, surveys of practitioners and academics, and expert panels. A forum organised at “be active’09” will serve as informal focus group, and participants will have ample opportunity to have input into both the scope of practice, and possible links to university curricula and work experience. Participants will have their identity protected as all outcomes from the Project are de-identified as to the source of the information. We encourage you to attend and participate in this forum on “Curriculum Renewal in Exercise Science”.

Description: This paper reports on the learning potential of a reflective activity undertaken by final year nursing students, in which they were asked to recount two meaningful events that occurred during their clinical placements over the duration of their 3-year nursing degree program and reflect on how these events contributed to their learning to become beginning level Registered Nurses (RNs). This descriptive qualitative study gathered narratives from 92 students as individual postings in an online forum created within the University's learning management system. An analysis of the students' reflections are the focus of this paper particularly in relation to the value of reflecting on the identified events. Four themes emerged that clearly highlight the way in which these students interpreted and learned from both positive and negative clinical experiences, their strong desire to fit into their new role and their ability to re-imagine how they might respond to clinical events when they become Registered Nurses. The findings of this study may contribute to developing nursing curricula that better prepares final year students for the realities of practice. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
