Part 3: Knowledge and Skills to be Gained from Your Workplace Learning Experience

Provide a summary of what knowledge and skills you will gain from your workplace learning experience, such as developing new products in response to market needs, writing an effective proposal or gaining competency in client/server computing.

In the boxes below, describe what you will learn from each task listed in Part 2.

(Five to eight are required for a 6 credit workplace learning experience)

This list will help you identify additional courses that you might want to take in future semesters to advance your career. Note that workplace learning credit will not replace any course offered for credit at UMUC. Workplace learning credit may be applied toward your major or minor (up to 6 credits), toward your related courses or as a general elective. Your counselor or workplace learning staff will explain how you can apply your workplace learning credit to your degree requirements at UMUC.

Review your learning proposal with your supervisor at work. Ensure your supervisor understands and supports your participation in this workplace learning experience. UMUC's workplace learning staff is available by phone at 240-582-2280 to provide additional information to your supervisor, if needed.

Your supervisor's input may also help you describe and prioritize your new tasks accurately. Note that if your learning will continue beyond this time, you may be able to earn additional workplace learning credit after completion of this session.

When you submit this form, you will receive a copy via e-mail for your records. Because your learning proposal will be used as the basis for your first assignment after enrollment, it is important to save this copy.
