5. Supervised on-the-job training assignment designed to give students the skills and knowledge required for entry into a

trade/profession over a defined period.

6. Participants attend a large scale exposition off-site specifically as a knowledge transfer/training opportunity, as opposed

to a sales or marketing opportunity.

7. Interactions/activities where peers learn from and with each other in both formal and informal ways.
