COOPC1021 Professional Identity: Prep for work
This introductory course will equip students to commence managing their progression into and through their careers. The course consists of three strands: planning ahead, knowing yourself, and preparing to join the workforce. Students will learn career development skills and strategies, and participate in activities, applicable to their university studies and future professional lives. By tailoring their academic learning, professional placements and extra-curricular endeavours to their career goals and the needs of industry, students will be empowered to make deliberate career-focused decisions and take full advantage of work integrated learning situations. A focus on self-awareness, self-efficacy, professionalism and workplace culture will support students to develop the expected behaviours for success in the workplace. Students will create a personalised career action plan to self-manage their careers and make informed career and life decisions. Each learning and assessment task will enable students to create and test career choices that will develop their interpersonal, communication, and networking skills.
