WorkSim
- The Work Simulation Project takes place outside the education institution and lasts up to 60 hours
- Students work in teams, usually in competition
- The consultant is introduced, the client representative explains the company and project background and presents the brief to the teams.
- Students work to health & safety standards, with a disciplinary procedure.
- They have experts to draw on for advice during the WorkSim
- Halfway through, students have a peer critique, present their proposals to the consultant and receive advice
- At the end of the week the teams exhibit and present their work for feedback. By this point, they are able to talk through their process from concept to product.
Partners include the Design Museum, the University of the Arts, John Moores University, Mid Cheshire College New Media CoVE, High Wire and EADS Astrium.
