Overview
They will also explore the range of workplace interventions which can put these strategies into effect and the models and theories which underpin these.
Throughout this Workplace Learning with Coaching and Mentoring module at The Open University UK there will be an emphasis on workplace and practice based learning and, relatedly, on professionalism and continuous professional development.
Students will look closely at coaching and mentoring in the workplace and will have an opportunity to develop and practise their own coaching and mentoring skills.
What you will study
- Factors which inform choices about learning and talent development strategies and practices include skilful reading of economic, political and social contexts and an appreciation of their impact on possible choices.
- Students will be expected to think critically about organisational factors which can influence options and outcomes such as power and politics.
- They are encouraged to draw comparisons with the development of learning and talent development strategies in other contexts, drawing on the experience of cases studies and the experience of fellow students working in different geographical areas and sectors.
