This unit is based around a 120-hour supervised industry or research internship undertaken in an Australian or international context. Placements are typically within start-ups, small to medium enterprises, NGOs, and research projects within universities. Students attend 5 workshops covering the following topics: Comparison of workplace cultures, intercultural-communication skills, enhancing relationships at work, goals and motivation, management styles, and critical self-reflection. The workshops provide tools and theories that students apply to their placement to enhance their learning and performance whilst also facilitating the discussion and sharing of challenges within their internship.
