992221 The Global Professional: Industry Engagement Project

Description

This capstone subject provides students with the opportunity to apply and develop their intercultural and global citizenship skills in a professional work context. Students have considerable flexibility to undertake a self-sourced placement with an organisation which operates in international contexts or industries and focus on consolidating their intercultural and international capabilities. Students are supported by collaborative on-campus workshops to prepare them for their work placement and online learning as they complete their internships. This subject takes the global workplace as a site of cultural and intercultural complexity. Students engage in work-based learning and complete a major project where they observe, analyse and critically reflect upon cultural and intercultural practices, systems, policies, workplace and industry standards, including as to respecting protocols to work with and for Indigenous Australians. Through this subject, students analyse everyday work phenomena in light of global dynamics, cultural and intercultural processes. The subject culminates with a showcase of projects that highlight students’ commitment and leadership in developing positive social change in their future places of work and industries of practice.
