Content:

Work-based projects are unique in their content because their rationale, aims and objectives are drawn up by student apprentice as part of the 'Learning Agreement', produced in the Planning Personal and Professional Development module; this agreement plans their whole programme and is agreed and signed by their employer.

Work-based projects are located in the student apprentice's workplace, and relate directly to their job role and work activities. The content and scope of the projects are also subject to an official 'project proposal' which is the assessment for the Planning Practitioner Research module at Level 4 and the subsequent Learning Review modules at Levels 5 and 6.

Apprentices studying for the BSc (Hons.) Professional Practice in Supply Chain Leadership will undertake this particular project in order to complete their degree, their apprenticeship and fulfil all of the requirements of the degree apprenticeship standard's assessment plan.
