CCI302 Emergent Professional (8)

In this subject students undertake self-directed study towards the generation of an individual value proposition, future work or study plan and consolidated professional portfolio. Students are required to explore and critique their current research and professional interests and consider how as emergent professionals they can maximise their individual impact in existing, emergent, future or speculative professions. Students will have developed a network of industry and/or academic contacts relevant to their individual aspirations and have constructed, under supervision/guidance, a plan for their future.
