Professional Development 3

On this page

This unit is the third and the last of the units in the professional development stream covering three broad areas of business knowledge, personal attributes and professional skills. In this capstone unit of study, students will demonstrate their understanding of the business environment and the knowledge and skills required for professional practice, via the implementation of a business project to demonstrate professional practice and leadership. Projects may be located in the workplace, the community or on-site and may be supported by Alumni and Business Mentors as Project Managers. Students will critically evaluate their personal and professional skills and how these can be used to support business and personal decision making. In a workplace setting students will be able to examine issues of problem identification, planning and problem solving strategies. Students will be able to reflect on the transition from academic to workplace environments and assess their current and future career plans.
