Certain kinds of experiences, such as that of Annabelâs below, demonstrate skills that will be extremely useful to her both in undergraduate study and beyond. She herself makes the connection with student life when acknowledging how paid work experience has helped her when preparing for particular kinds of assignment:
The paid work, especially working for [holiday operator] allowed me to gain confidenceâ¦when you have got 24 people and they have got nowhere to stay that night because the place hasnât been built you really do have to think off the top of your headâ¦you know, the adrenaline flow, it was the confidence really to deal with situationsâ¦Oh yes, it has helped with presentations and getting into groups⦠So yeah, motivation and leadership, I feel like that is enforcing, because I have got ability to do it. (Annabel, 32 year old white female)
An important issue for these students is, of course, the extent to which they have brought so many skills with them into higher education, rather than acquire them while studying in order to prepare for graduate careers. Indeed, this point is very consciously made by Annette.
I mean, mature students come here with the whole range of skills and expertise that are maybe not fully taken into account, and I think my experience certainly is that I would probably transfer more skills into this place than I might be transferring out â and that is not a criticism because I love it here! (Annette, 40 year old white female)
