This subject provides students with targeted career and employability development,
anchored in the professional and vocational requirements of their industry. Students
will explore their individual career goals and personal motivations, whilst building
a deep understanding of current industry requirements and employment trends. The unit
takes students through three developmental stages. The first stage is the enhancement
of their career clarity, in particular determination of a career path and the development
of a personal brand and narrative aligned to that path. Working from contemporary
industry insights, participants work with actual job and employment data to enhance
their professional knowledge. The second stage focuses on the specific capabilities
required in their chosen career path, including both professional and technical skills.
Armed with this knowledge students prepare a professional development plan to enable
comprehensive career preparation and the development of a differentiated employment
narrative. The final stage focusses on strategies to build professional confidence
to not only successfully navigate the recruitment process but, importantly, to effectively
manage a lifelong career. Strong industry engagement is a characteristic of the Professional
Employability program, providing vital networking and knowledge building opportunities
with authentic perspectives on career management.
