Abstract
This chapter presents the findings from an evaluation research project for a large-scale, local, and international placement program that straddled both undergraduate and postgraduate business school degrees. We conducted a mixed-methods evaluation process to help us understand how to improve a business school placement program for future deliveries. We achieved this by eliciting students' and industry partners' responses, via an online survey that was administered from 2017-2019, when participants prepared for or were undertaking a placement experience, increasing students' employability for job-readiness. The results from the study, showed several key areas for amendment consideration. For example, students requested that the timing of the learning activities, preparation, and de-brief workshops, which formed an integral part of the program, required further alignment to the work placement activity. Students expressed a desire to have assessments graded by industry partners. Industry partners advocated for more involvement in the assessment requirements and to assist with the matching of students to organisational needs. The overall findings, assisted us to develop a set of specific recommendations to improve practice, adding to the research literature on placement pedagogy and practice.
