Description

This course is an Elective in the Graduate Certificate in Social Impact (GCSI) program (7357). It is an individual student driven project bringing together learning from the GCSI core COMM5708 along with 2 GCSI Elective courses. This course applies the cumulative learning of students' three previous courses so it cannot be studied until the student has completed three courses.
This course places students, through negotiation, with an agreed suitable host, in a practical working environment with a social impact focus. Students may choose to work individually, or in a team of two. Students will work at least one day a fortnight at a host organisation’s premises on a project with a social impact focus agreed between the organisation, the Graduate Certificate in Social Impact Program Director and the student(s). Suitable projects should come from any of the areas studied in the other Graduate Certificate courses: social enterprises, the measurement of social value creation, social finance, leadership for social impact, corporate responsibility and accountability. The course has no formal classes; all sessions are arranged between the supervisor and the student. The course requires a written interim and final report.
