In this unit, students will gain relevant work experience by undertaking an internship with a public, private or not-for-profit organisation which is relevant to their academic studies. They will undertake meaningful work that will enable them to apply disciplinary knowledge and skills. The opportunity will enable students to develop their professional capabilities and enhance their familiarity with working environments. Students must complete a minimum of 225 hours of work with a host organisation. The terms of the internship are flexible and may be negotiated between the student, Unit Coordinator/Lecturer and host organisation. Students will be expected to take responsibility for their own learning outcomes. Internship hosts will be secured through the School of Business and Law Work Integrated Learning team or can be organised by the students themselves. Any opportunities secured by students will be vetted to ensure they provide a meaningful learning experience. Terms of payment, if any, will be negotiated on an individual basis. Enrolment into this unit is by application ONLY and entry requires students to participate in a recruitment and selection process. As this unit focuses on the personal and professional development of the individual, no Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) will be considered for this unit.

Students will undertake, and be assessed on, authentic activities through engagement with industry and community partners.
Work done in an actual workplace in which the student applies discipline-specific knowledge and skills, supervised by an industry professional separate from an ECU campus or location.
Students must complete a minimum of 225 hours of work with a host organisation. This is typically structured as six to seven weeks work on a full-time basis but working arrangements may vary on an individual basis. Students will be required to participate in an on- campus or online induction on the requirements and procedures for completing an Internship, including documentation and risk management compliance. Student learning will be directed by the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer and there will be ongoing liaison between the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer and student to ensure effective performance in the pre-determined program of work and achievement of learning outcomes during the Internship period. Students will need to maintain regular email contact and may be required to participate in face-to-face, online or telephone meetings with the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer. Students are expected to generate ideas relating to their program of work by liaising with both the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer and Workplace Supervisor on strategies for meeting expected outcomes and generating evidence of effective performance.
