Subject Rationale:

Work integrated learning (WIL) is an important opportunity for students to: apply the learning from their core and specialisation subjects; refine essential employability skills and become career ready; develop good practice; and build their professional network.

To achieve this, WIL801A incorporates approaches to learning that recognise and utilise contributions from both academic and workplace settings through the application of classroom learnt theory into practice in the workplace. Meaningful introductory work experience in this subject, coupled with rigorous academic studies, provides students with the opportunity to place their studies in context by working on an assigned project. Students will be given the opportunity to identify, analyse and develop a solution to solve a problem within an industry setting. They will reflect on the project goals and outcomes through new insights into a workplace and discipline-specific cultural and behavioural expectations and newly acquired skills.

Students are supported by academic supervisors in small groups and one-on-one meetings to guide them in their project development and critical reflections.

Learning Outcomes:

a) Critically evaluate employability skills in the specialised field of study in a variety of professional settings.
b) Design and develop a project plan in the specialised field of study as instructed by the workplace supervisor.
c) Evaluate relevant business information to develop evidence-based and sustainable solutions for a workplace setting.
d) Effectively communicate work related issues and outcomes to a range of relevant organisational stakeholders.
e) Critically reflect and generate insights on workplace culture, relevant professional expectation, and career aspirations.
