In this unit, students are required to complete a minimum of 20 weeks of supported work experience in a professional setting. This is typically structured on a full-time basis (30 hours plus) but working arrangements may vary on an individual basis. The unit forms part of the Professional Practice program available to students in the Bachelor of Commerce Professional. The unit aims to build on the skills acquired in SBL4520 Professional Practice. It will further develop technical and non-technical skills and attributes to produce tangible outcomes in the professional setting. It will also provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate leadership and autonomy in achieving designated work outcomes in a professional setting.
