This unit of study will serve as an industrial experience unit for the course in which students will undertake a substantial Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience for their employer or selected organization. Students will be asked to take part in a project agreed to by their workplace supervisor and Victoria University coordinator.
The project will provide students with the opportunity to gain experience of a real world situation and where possible apply their academic learning (the key principles covered in the course) to those situations.
