WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING/INTERNSHIP SUBJECTS
GLOBAL WORKPLACE PRACTICE (GWP800)
An informative and intensive subject designed to meet the employment aspirations of international students to undertake work in Australia. This subject crosses boundaries between theory and practice and will maximise the student's potential to access workplace experiences leading to formal post-university employment options. Students will acquire and develop work-based learning skillsets; will critically examine the discourses and theories of intercultural competence, as well as develop cultural awareness and business communication skills that are fit-for-purpose regardless of students' career aspirations. It also provides an opportunity for students to integrate and apply their university knowledge in an industry context.
Trimester 2 and Spring 2014 applications for GWP800 on Wollongong Campus are now OPEN.
