Graduate IE industry placement

There are three sets of BEX units covering industry placements:

Students have two options in sourcing a placement. Students may find their own placement or they may apply to Monash to find a placement for them. Placements may be local, interstate or overseas. Please note that the IE program is highly competitive and there is no guarantee that every student submitting an application will be successful.

Assessment

Academic induction to be completed in week 1 (Online and recorded).

Tasks

1. Quiz – Graduate capitals evaluation (10% at the start of placement)
2. Quiz – Resilience and work attitudes (10% at the start of placement)
3. Team project (20% at the end of placement)
4. E-folio (50% at the end of placement)
5. Evaluations (10% at the end of placement)

Application process

Students are required to make a formal application to undertake these units. All students should supply the following information during the application process:

• Contribution expected to be made to the organisation
• Expected gains for the student from undertaking the placement or project
• How the placement relates to the student’s degree or major discipline area

Students finding their own placement will also need to supply the following information:

• The placement role
• Company details (name, location etc.)
• Supervisor details (name, contact information). If overseas, this needs to be an English-speaker
• Starting and finishing dates

Where students find their own placement, it should be in a business-related role, preferably in the student’s major discipline area. Student-led placements are assessed and approved by the academic coordinators to ensure they meet unit requirements.
