Employers are seeking work-ready graduates who can apply their university-developed knowledge, skills and attributes in diverse work environments and new contexts. This unit will provide you with the opportunity to consolidate knowledge of your chosen profession/discipline and demonstrate graduate attributes through an authentic learning experience of your choice: work integrated learning, global experience or project. The work integrated learning creates an opportunity for you to gain practical work experience. You will apply discipline knowledge and critical thinking skills to propose creative, ethical and innovative solutions within the workplace. The global experience creates an opportunity for you to engage in a 2-6 week international program. You will apply cross-cultural knowledge and critical thinking skills to propose creative, ethical and innovative solutions in response to global challenges. The project option creates an opportunity for you to complete a scaffolded investigation (supervised project) at an advanced level. You will apply discipline knowledge and critical thinking skills to propose creative, ethical and innovative solutions to a workplace or community issue related to your discipline area. We encourage you to enrol early to receive further information about each experience and begin the selection process. The work integrated learning and global experience options are subject to availability and you are required to enrol three months prior to the start of Term to participate in these options.

Feedback from In class
Provide more information on WIL and global tour before enrolment
It is recommended that the WIL team provide comprehensive information about work-integrated learning (WIL) and global tours facilitating them to make informed decisions between the given choices.
Feedback from SUTE
The unit coordinator was very helpful! I think providing an example assessment for the W.I.L and Global Tour would be very helpful.
If possible, provide an exemplar for the WIL and Global Tour. If exemplar is not allowed, provide assessment templates with guidelines on what should be included in different sections.
