INTRODUCTION
Skills and knowledge are playing a very important role in the success of a career of an
individual. The skills and knowledge can be from any place whether it is the workplace area
or learning lectures (Morris, 2018). This report aims to understand an experience of the
module by an individual in their learning lectures. It is a report of reflective writing which
include learning about an individual and also the specific workplace skills which are required
for career growth and success. This reflective report is also included some important skills
which are planning to develop after this module and which also against to the future job role.
MAIN BODY
What you have learned in the module?
In the module, I learned many important skills and knowledge which are necessary for
an individual in order to grow and succeed in their career (Andresen, Boud and Cohen, 2020).
My experience can be explained with the help of Gibbs reflective cycle. It included six
important stages which are necessary for an effective reflection:
Descriptive
I attended modules from the lectures in which I got to know about many things which
I never learned before that. I take 6-week lectures which I found very enough for me to
develop some important skills and knowledge. My teacher has taught me about many
important topics which I found necessary for my career. My whole experience are more
elaborated with the help of Gibbs reflective cycle that shows my learning.
Feelings
Firstly, I learned about work-based learning which is concerned with what is learnt by
working. It is not related to reading or observing the work but it actually included the
working activities. It includes all types of learning that an individual generated through
formal and informal job-related training and education. It is necessary to understand that
work is learning found to be very important for the individual as it becomes a powerful
development tool which helps in developing partnerships between external and educational
institutions (Guo and et.al., 2020). I learned about workplace learning as it involves the
employees which are able to develop some important employability skills and knowledge. I
found from the module that works base learning is found to be an emerging discrete in the

university subject. The reason behind this is University taught, researched and stored this
subject according to their own way to the students. The work-based learning program is
found to be a very important program which helps learners to develop occupational
competencies. It is very important for an individual which I analysed from the module that
they need to understand the relationship between the workplace and academia. If an
individual has good academic knowledge and skills and is able to perform better in the
workplace. I also learned about presentation and communication skills in this module.
All the learning which I learned in the module are covered presentation skills, stress
management, Personal & career development Plan and Action Planning, The Concept of
Learning and Learning Styles, communication skills, reflective writing, Career Interview, CV
and LinkedIn profile development. I felt that these are the important areas which are
necessary for understanding each and every individual if they want to get success in the
future. I also felt that it is very important for an individual to be serious when they are
learning these important skills and knowledge (Moust, Bouhuijs and Schmidt, 2021).
According to my experience, when I was taking lectures in the classroom, I was very unsure
about the topics covered by the teacher. I have many question such as what is the need for
that topic in the classroom and how I can able to use these topics in the future. But I found
that all the topics covered in the module lectures are important not only for me but for each
and every individual.
Evaluation
I can say that my overall experience with modular lectures was very good. Yes, I have
had good as well as bad experiences but I identified that the module lectures which I attended
were very important for my personal as well as my professional life. There are many
important workplace skills which I acquired during the modules. I acquired presentation
skills which I really don't know about how to present a simple topic in front of people. I
finished many problems whenever I presented. I can say that I have an issue with confidence.
I felt that I was not able to speak in front of people and because of that, it provided a negative
impact on my presentation skills. During the lectures, I got to know that presentation skills
are very important for each and every individual because it requires not only in professional
life but also in personal life. Presentation skill is not limited to the presentation of slides
provided by an employee in the organisation or a student in the university (Jabarullah and
Hussain, 2019). It is very important for an individual to understand that presentation is a skill
