STEM Insight: CPD Impact Toolkit

During STEM Insight, you will be using our CPD Impact Toolkit to record your experiences before, during and after the placement. This toolkit has been designed by our CPD team to support your journey and to help you through the ENTHUSE award application. By completing the CPD Impact Toolkit, you will have automatically completed the ENTHUSE award documentation, securing your award.

The toolkit contains a number of online forms that must be completed during the programme. Each form has a specific deadline for completion, which must be followed to ensure that your ENTHUSE award can be processed.

To complete the form you will need your line manager and placement host’s email address, as these will need to be entered at the bottom of the form. You are welcome to share the contents of this toolkit with your placement host and a copy of this form will be sent to them when the form is completed.
