Presentation to the Association for Academic Language and Learning Conference held in Fremantle Western Australia in November 2019. The work skill development framework was used in a fourth year Occupational Therapy unit at the Peninsula campus of Monash University to make work skills explicit to students with the aim of preparing them for placement. Library staff collaborated with a faculty academic to prepare and present the workshop to students and the presentation outlines the workshop and results from the data collected as part of a research project.
