YEAR1MODULES
The Learning Practitioner I This module is designed to provide learners with the transferable skills that are pivotal in helping them make the most of their studies. It also develops learners' capabilities to be more effective in the workplace. It provides the foundations for understanding the importance of continuing professional development and reflective practice, in line with professional standards. Contemporary HR Practice and the Future of Work Senior people professionals (SPPs) are seen as experts in their work environment, requiring up-to-date knowledge of processes and practices. This module provides learners with the tools to implement a range of 'people practice' approaches within the workplace. It also explores some of the continuing changes (both within and external to organisations) that impact on the role and scope of HR functions. Responsible Employment Practice This module focuses on workforce planning and how this is an integral part of resourcing, talent, and performance management. Apprentices will learn about the growing complexity of employer-employee relations, working environments, and legislative and regulatory frameworks. They will look at the functional activities of recruitment, selection, employee retention, reward/promotion, succession planning, and exit from the organisation that typify the employee lifecycle. Learners will also cover contemporary issues that really highlight the dynamics of HR practice, such as the emergence of the gig economy and increasing insecurity of some jobs, hybrid and flexible working, issues of inclusion, diversity, wellbeing, employee engagement, voice, and dignity at work.
Evidence-Based Strategies for Learning and Development This module introduces learners to the English legal system and to contract law. It unravels civil and criminal law; the court system; the essentials of a binding contract; contract terms; vitiating factors affecting contracts; ways in which a contract can be discharged; remedies for breach of contract. A key approach to learning in an organisation is the development of appropriate cultures and environments that support and facilitate individual, team, and organisational learning, and encourage continuous professional development. In this module apprentices will develop the knowledge and skills required to design, deliver and evaluate learning and development strategies and interventions. They will critically explore the role and influence of a range of contextual factors that influence learning provision.
