Within the workplace (a minimum of 120 hours [equivalent to 3 weeks full-time] and maximum of 240 hours [equivalent to 6 weeks full-time]) you will apply knowledge and skills developed during your course of study. Practising workplace related skills such as team work, ethical behaviour, safe workplace practices and reflective practice as well as building on your industry networks will support you in your transition to professional practice. Your placement should be relevant to your course of study and must be approved by the course co-ordinator and the unit co-ordinator before you commence. Acceptance into this unit will be based on successful completion of prerequisites, the completion of a number of workplace requirements, and the availability of placement supervisors.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Apply your discipline-specific knowledge and complex reasoning skills in a workplace.
- Demonstrate your capacity to work independently and collaboratively.
- Demonstrate responsible and ethical conduct in a workplace.
- Apply professional capabilities, and demonstrate proficient record keeping and data interpretation.
- Demonstrate effective information retrieval skills and written and oral communication.
Content
Your placement will develop your discipline specific skills and your oral presentation skills. Other content in this unit will be specific to your work placement. You will apply relevant workplace health and safety principles. The preparation for your work placement will include the following topics: Health and Safety in the workplace, ethical practice, reflective practice and report writing skills.
