Overview

The aim of this unit is to enable you to develop experience and understanding in discipline-specific, non-clinical, industry-focused work environments. The unit will provide opportunities to establish: 1. Closer links between future graduates and industry partners 2. Workplace skills in a discipline area 3. Industry expectations of graduates 4. Real-world career experiences for students You will be placed with an industry-partner for a short-term work experience opportunity in a discipline-specific area. This opportunity will enable you to develop industry and work-based learning, allowing you to apply discipline related knowledge to authentic, real-world situations. This unit will further enhance 21st Century employability skills necessary for career competitiveness.
