21189 Community Sector Project 2

Subject level: Undergraduate

Handbook description

This subject enables students to undertake exploratory or applied projects focusing on particular industry problems or issues. It extends the students' capacity to apply their accumulated knowledge and skills to addressing industry issues that impact on the workplace, drawing on experience that students have already gained in the industry and the skills they have developed during the course. The projects involve the researching and analysis of an environmental factor that impacts on community organisations, the development and implementation of a strategy to address the issues, and an evaluation of the impact of the strategy. The projects are designed and proposed by the student, and subject to negotiation with and approval by the subject coordinator. Each subject requires a different project proposal. Students are required to demonstrate the relevance of the project to their own learning, to the workplace and to the industry generally. In some circumstances, students may gain approval to draw on major projects that they have already carried out.
