Learning Contract
Section 1: Possible Learning Topics
For my learning topics I have decided to learn about Time Management and Working Relations and Communication.
I have identified Time Management because in my role as an Employment Advisor I have targets of helping clients in to sustainable employment and in order to achieve these targets time management is essential. If I were to improve this area it would enable me to help more clients successfully into work, lessen my caseload, and increase my performance. Therefore, allowing me more time to spend developing my clients who maybe further away from work and needing more support.
I have indentified Working Relations and Communications, because I am currently work group lead from my work group, this individual attends our management meetings with the minutes from the workgroup meetings and proposals for change in the office. These workgroup meetings sometimes lack structure and can sometimes end up being an hour of moaning between team members about things beyond our control as advisors with no solutions being raised just the problems.
My reserve topic is Self and Career Development I have been an Employment Advisor for two years and feel ready to undertake more activities at work for when promotional opportunities arise.

Section 2: You and Your Learning Context:
I have undertaken various courses at work to help me within my role such as Caseload Management, Conflict Management and Leadership training; although this training has been useful it has never given any practical help with either of the learning topics I have chosen to learn more about.
My monthly targets at work have also increased within the last month this is why it is even more important for me to work on my time management and to put together a system which is effective and useful to me in my daily work
In regards to time management in other areas of my life I have found I am generally good and practical with managing my time
