In working through the innovation process students will attend innovation workshops conducted by a corporate partner and will work closely with a mentor from a professional organisation. At the end of the program students will pitch their business proposals to a panel of leading industry experts. To support their teamwork, students will be introduced to skills associated with effective teamwork and will have the opportunity to practice these skills and reflect on the experience of working in a small team on a real life project. |
