Today you will
- find out who is in the VET interview room
- see how classmates and the examiner need different things
- write a short Audience Profile for your VET interview
Think of the last time you told a friend about your Something Real project. What would you add for a stranger who has never heard of it?
If you have no project yet, use your teacher's starter project.
Audience means the real people who will see, hear or judge your presentation.
Your VET interview audience is the SEC examiner, who checks what you learned.
A peer audience is your classmates. They already know your project, but an assessor audience does not.
An Audience Profile is a short written picture of who is listening, what they need and what will convince them.
For example, the examiner has never heard of your project, so you explain it from the start.
Copy this template
Audience Profile: VET interview
Project:
Who is in the room:
What they already know:
What they need to see:
What will convince them:
What will lose them:
Not for classmates:
You will sort statements into two groups: peer audience (your classmates) or VET interview audience (the SEC examiner).
Sort the six statements
Common snags
- If your profile sounds like the examiner knows your project already, explain it from the start as if to a stranger.
- If your peer lines and VET lines look the same, make the VET lines calmer, with more proof and less slang.
- If you only listed who is in the room, fill in the other headings too.
