THERE IS A TREND GOING ON AMONG THE YOUNGSTERS WHICH INCLUDE LEARNING IN THE REAL WORLD ENVIRONMENT.AS A RESULT, IN SEVERAL NATIONS, YOUNG PEOPLE ARE MORE INCLINED TOWARDS BECOMING INDEPENDENT SO, THEY DROP OUT THEIR COLLEGE AS WELL AS UNIVERSITIES AND GET INVOLVED IN GAINING KNOWLEDGE FROM THE WORKPLACE ITSELF.
FIRSTLY, THE MAIN PURPOSE OF WORK BASED TRAINING PATHWAY IS TO TEACH STUDENTS PRACTICALLY WHICH CAN HELP THEM TO DEVELOP SOFT SKILLS, PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY TAKE FIRST STEP IN THEIR CAREER.FOR EXAMPLE: STEVE JOBS LEFT REED COLLEGE TO PURSUE HIS DESIRE AND HE BEGAN TO WORK IN CALLIGRAPHY COMPANY WHICH LEADED HIM TO BECOME A CEO OF APPLE. UNLIKE CLASSROOM WHICH HEAVILY FOCUSED ONLY ON THEORY, LEARNING IN WORKPLACE INVOLVES BOTH PRACTICAL AND THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE.
SECONDLY, THE EDUCATION THAT ARE WORK BASED PROVIDE VARIETIES OF EXPOSURE TO THE LEARNERS ALL AROUND THE GLOBE.AS AN EXAMPLE, INTERNSHIP IS A PERIOD OF TIME,TYPICALLY OFFERED TO GAIN SOME EXPERIENCE BEFORE ACTUALLY GETTING INTO THE JOBS. ALTHOUGH WE DON’T A QUALIFICATION ON DOING THE INTERNSHIP BUT WE GAIN THE EXPOSURE INTO PROFESSIONAL LIFE.
AS A WHOLE, I BELIEVE WORK BASED LEARNING ARE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN JUST LISTENING TO UNIVERSITY LECTURER.
