This unit set is aimed towards enhancing students' employability by augmenting core security knowledge and academic skills with professional employability experience. Students undertaking this unit set will study units relating to the corporate environment, including management, business analytics, governance and project management. They will then be placed with one of ECU's business and industry partners for a semester to undertake a real world project that will meet specific corporate security objectives, enhancing employability opportunities through industry engagement.
This unit set information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.

Students have the opportunity to seek a Work Integrated Learning placement with an industry partner.
Students, the WIL host organisation and the school's WIL Coordinator must complete a WIL documentation pack (which includes all required OSH and Risk Assessment documents) before the placement can commence. WIL host organisations may have additional clearance requirements of applicants, including evidence of police clearance or non-disclosure agreements. There may also be vaccination or other similar requirements, including those imposed by government or third-party placement hosts, that apply to Professional Placements which form part of your course. Please consider this requirement before applying for Professional Placement and speak with the WIL and Course Coordinator if this raises any concerns. You may not be able to complete the Professional Placement unit if you are unable to meet the placement requirements.
Students are required to complete a placement which is equivalent to one semester of full-time study. Whilst attendance is negotiated with the WIL host organisation, typically students will be expected to undertake a minimum of 300 hours over a maximum of 17 weeks. Typical full-time placements usually comprise 450 hours of professional placement.
Students are required to apply in writing to the Work Integrated Learning Coordinator (the student's Course Coordinator can advise who is the responsible staff member) upon successful completion of 120 credit points of study. Students should seek the advice of their Course Coordinator and the WIL Coordinator as to the appropriateness of pursuing the work placement option within their course structure. Successful applicants will need to complete any directed pre-placement preparation activities.
Approved applicants for Work Integrated Learning must enrol in and complete the requirements for CSI3750 Professional Placement (Computing and Security). This unit represents a full semester study load. Students are advised not to enrol in any additional units while undertaking this unit.
The implications for failing the WIL unit is that students could re-take the unit however they would undertake an internal placement within ECU and would not be sent back out to industry.
