The Apprentice!
November 26th, 2007 by EmmaAt Lauder College in Dunfermline Fife, the Skillextra Plus group took part in The Apprentice activity at the Access Centre with Learning for Work Advisor Gaynor Jamieson on the 13th November 2007 as part of Enterprise Week 2007.
The Apprenticeship task is an enterprising activity, which equips learners with skills such as commercial awareness, creativity, ideas generation, leadership and project management.
The Skillextra group demonstrated and applied enterprising skills, attitudes and values such as self-awareness, self confidence, creativity, initiative, communication, decision making, problem solving and teamwork. The group was split into two teams who named themselves the “Panda Pods” and “Little Princesses” and designed and produced two items of jewellery.
The teams tasks were to:
- Elect a Project Leader
- Decide what item of jewellery they were going to produce
- Decide who they would sell their jewellery to
- Design the jewellery
- Produce the jewellery
- Decide how they were going to market it too
- “Sell” the product to the panel
After two hours it was decided by the panel that the “Little Princesses” had successfully achieved the task and that the “Panda Pods” were to be officially fired from the task! This is what the groups had to say about their Enterprising morning:
“I really liked the task…….it was fantastic!”
“I enjoyed it!”
“It was good fun, I enjoyed it!”
Below are photographs of the “fired” “Panda Pods” and the “Apprentice” “Little Princesses” with their certificates:
