Description
The third edition of the original full-length handbook which caters to the specific needs of work-based learners. Compiled by work-based learning experts, this hands-on guide helps new learners to successfully navigate academia and get the most out of their university experience.

Real-life case studies, useful tips and reflective activities are embedded throughout to enrich students' learning experience.
This is the essential companion for all students on work-based learning degrees and degree apprenticeships across a range of disciplines, including business and management, health and social care, law, sport and exercise science and tourism. It will also be an invaluable resource for work-based learning tutors, workplace supervisors and organisations with an interest in work-based learning.

This new edition offers some excellent updates on an already seminal text for students engaging in work-based learning. I particularly welcome the focus on personal and professional development, and opportunities for quality self-reflection.

This is key reading for students and practitioners in the field of work-based learning. Two valuable aspects of this book are the regular exercises and case studies which are informative and interesting.

This book provides vital insights into the latest areas of thinking around work-based learning. Building on the strong platform that the authors established in its former edition, this new edition contains valuable updates, including coverage of the role of apprenticeships as a form of work-applied learning, and provides a renewed frame of reference in light of the changing context that students are facing today.
Scott Andrews, University of Worcester, UK
