Unit description Unit description

This unit explores the role and practice of learning and development (L&D) in organisations with an applied industry component. Through engagement with industry partners, the unit provides students with the opportunity to apply L&D principles, concepts, theories and skills to key aspects of the training and development function. Through this, students will develop a broad view of the complex and contested issues that confront organisations when constructing systems of learning and knowledge generation. Students will also gain an appreciation of the strategic choices available and key practical challenges in L&D. Visit Employability Connect for important information on this unit including required preparation and closing dates for PACE activities.
