<p>Industry based learning provides students with the opportunity to gain valuable insights into workplaces and occupational tasks relevant to their field of study. Students are provided with the opportunity to apply, in the workplace, the knowledge they have acquired through the first 2 years of their degree program. In doing so, the students will gain experience and skills in planning, time management, project conceptualization and development, project management, data generation and/or curation, data analysis, and report writing. Students will spend the majority of their time on placement conducting a major project. The project also provides students with the opportunity to further develop degree- and workplace-relevant knowledge and skills. The course is only available to students who participate in the university's Industry Placement Program (IPP) and have secured a suitable industry host. Students should have completed, or demonstrated a willingness to complete, the IPP professional development sessions (Career Advantage Program) prior to their work placement.</p>

<p>This 15 point course requires the successful completion of their workplace requirements, agreed upon by both the industry host and the university.

The industry host and the university academic supervisor will agree upon the topic and focus of the project. In addition to fulfilling the direct workplace obligations, SCCOR3014 students are required to fulfill academic requirements.</p>
