Prof Development & Application II (BUSA90551)

This subject integrates academic learning and practical challenges in implementing data analytics via a 5-week group project using data in/from an industry setting as a key learning and assessment aid for employability skills and attributes, providing improved knowledge of organisations, workplace culture and career pathways for students. In conjunction with this, students will also continue to work with Careers Services on personal development in the workplace (communications skills, interview practice, negotiation skills)

Assessment of the subject is focused around the completion of the report and a project presentation. This is a team project. Students interested in a research higher degree may, with permission, undertake an individual research project.

The program focuses on two areas:

• Communication skills: These skills include effective presentations, verbal communication, written communication, public speaking, and communicating technical material to non-technical audiences.
• Practicum skills: The completion of a 5-week project using data in/from an industry setting under an approved supervisor.

Successful completion of a range of core academic subjects as well as Professional Development I is a pre-requisite for this subject.
