Overview

This onboarding unit is compulsory for undergraduate students who are undertaking a placement in the Industry-Based Learning Program in the Faculty of Information Technology. It is a non-weighted unit and is taken in addition to any prescribed coursework. You begin your IBL placement with this 4-week IBL onboarding at established partners of the Faculty of Information Technology industry-based learning program including major global companies, leading Australian companies and worldwide consultancies. You use this time to be inducted into the organisation, learn languages, frameworks and tools in use at the partner, and understand the processes and dynamics of the organisation, allowing you to become an integrated, productive member of the team. Students on placement are deployed full-time (36 hours per week) for 4 weeks with the industry partners of the Faculty of IT industry-based learning program in a graduate level role within the company.
