This subject aims to build students’ capacity in working within an organisation in ways that:
- Offer an extended opportunity to build a repertoire of industry relevant skills and articulate the conservation experience in an outward- facing forum
- Foster a deeper understanding of and ability to support organisational aims
- Align professional development with industry needs
- Incorporate an increased peer review and peer development process.
This subject offers students the opportunity to undertake an extended placement in the cultural heritage industry beyond the three-week full time (or part-time equivalent) placement offered in the compulsory internship subject CUMC90006, allowing students to complete a longer placement at the same host organisation as their compulsory internship. Students develop further skills in conservation treatment, research or other projects, alongside demonstrating advanced skills in communicating about their work with broader community stakeholders.

- Incorporate relevant theoretical grounding from guiding documents such as the AICCM Code of Ethics and Practice and the AIATSIS Code of Ethics for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research into conservation practice in a professional context

- Integrate technical conservation understanding and stakeholder relations to effectively communicate a conservation project to a broad audience
- Build an expanded professional network including for peer review, incorporating an understanding of the responsibilities and accountabilities of representing an organisation to a professional and a public audience.
