Description

The Diploma of Professional Practice (DPP) is designed to enhance student’s capabilities and skills to pursue their professional careers by preparing and providing students with formal, structured work-based opportunities. Introduction to the Workplace is the first pre-requisite course in the DPP. It can also be completed as a General Education course in the student's degree program. It prepares students to enter the workplace with a deeper understanding of workplace contexts, recruitment practices and expectations of professionals across a range of industries.

Students will develop reflective capabilities in assessing their personal interests and strengths as well as the ability to articulate their self assessment results to potential employers. Students will also build on the ability to apply career development competencies in identifying suitable placement and/or employment opportunities.

Assessment tasks in Introduction to the Workplace are designed to engage students in active and productive learning. Students will develop a Portfolio for recruitment and networking purposes, including documents such as a resume, cover letter and key skill statements. Students will also conduct information interviews with targeted organisations and practice their interview skills using voice blogs.

Students who have completed Introduction to the Workplace are eligible to enrol in Professional Practice 1 (PP1) in the Diploma of Professional Practice.
