Description

Future Work and Career provides students with the opportunity to explore contemporary labour markets, including global megatrends which can impact on employment trends and opportunities. Students will analyse and orally present on graduate roles and longer-term career pathways, developing their appreciation of labour market demands and priorities across diverse sectors and industries. Through learning experiences which incorporate hands-on activities, reflective practices, and opportunities for feedback, students within the unit develop their self-awareness and understanding of professional self’, supporting the creation and articulation of their own personal brand. Students will engage with a series of modules to learn about aspects of professional practice, including practice and responsibility in work, health and safety; diversity and inclusion at work; risk, legal and ethical considerations; managing well-being and self-care at work; professional conduct and organisational culture. This will prepare students for undertaking a virtual work activity where they will apply their discipline skills and knowledge and reflect on their experience to clarify career goals. Recognition of Prior Learning will not be considered for this unit. Students with substantial course-related work experience and an established career profile can discuss the possibility of replacing the unit with their course coordinator.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.

Assessment

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation.

Academic Integrity

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.

Breaches of academic integrity can include:

Plagiarism

Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).

Unauthorised collaboration (collusion)

Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).

Contract cheating

Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.

Cheating in an exam

Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.

Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.

ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.

All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
