Vocational Scenario or Context You have managed to secure a technical apprenticeship with a regional contractor.
Your old school have heard of your success and have invited you back to talk to the year 10 students about careers in construction. The brief is quite wide ranging and they have indicated you have 30 minutes available to you. They have also stated they would like some supporting documentation to hand out to their students. The only stipulation is that your talk focuses on either a famous national project or a local project that the students can relate to.
You have discussed this with your supervisor at work and they have agreed to give you the time to undertake this task as they feel it is advantageous to them and the school. During your discussion, your supervisor suggested you draw up a list of 3 famous and 3 local projects that you could possibly use to provide an overview of the whole of the construction industry, from inception to, design and construction concluding in the end use and the impact of the project on the area it is situated. Once you have selected your projects you will have another meeting with your supervisor to agree the best one to use.
A suitable project would include sports stadia, shopping centres, schools, hospitals. It needs to be something relatively recent and something you can obtain a lot of information on. You will be required to undertake extensive research on all aspects of the design, construction and use of the building.
Task 1 Once you have agreed a suitable project with your tutor you are required to produce and present a 10-minute presentation with supporting hand-outs. Your presentation will address the design phase of the project you have selected. During the presentation you should consider:

The format for both the presentation and the booklet is your choice. Remember your target audience and think how you can get your message across to them.
Checklist of evidence required To successfully undertake this assignment, you will have produced and presented a 10-minute presentation on the design and functionality of the project you have selected. Your presentation will consider the relevant aspects of the local area, the design and whether it has worked now that it is built.
