Guest lecturers and fostering links with vocational professionals - Mark Hetherington

The respective teaching teams are always keen to form meaningful professional relationships with key industry personnel, the rewards are obvious in terms of teaching and learning. 

Below is such an example from a Counselling cohort who were taking the Communication (NC) FA1W 12 Unit. 

NCL were very grateful for Sarah Austin's input into two Zoom calls with the students and her subject expertise and natural engagement with the learners created a very interactive learning experience for all attendees.  

Facilitating and writing a record of the meetings was a challenge, but it was important to keep a log of the events and they can be seen below in the class blog link.

The students were extremely grateful to have access to an experienced Counsellor. Both Mark and Sarah contacted the students' Lecturers and Tutors beforehand out of professional courtesy to ensure there was no 'stepping on any professional toes' as it were, but the initiative was welcomed with open arms as you might imagine.

It is hoped that more of this will occur throughout the team as the session progresses and beyond.

Access to Counselling 2021-22: Thank you so much, Sarah
