  Learning through work - applying academic theory to solving practical business problems e.g. in English, writing business letters or advertising copy.
Learning about work - through active research into local businesses, students gain a broader understanding of the career opportunities which exist in the different industry sectors.
“The Project offers something of real value to the community. It's an interesting learning activity which genuinely helps students to prepare for the world of work.“
Sue Downes, Exam Board Area Co-ordinator
  Learning for work - students develop key skills through communication, teamwork, eBusiness, and the need to solve problems. Students apply learning in areas such as finance, marketing, sales, publication, and operations. As a result, they are able to assess their competencies, talents and interests, enhancing their career management skills.
