EHR320 Work Integrated Learning Project (8)

This workplace learning subject enables an opportunity for students to employ problem based learning strategies to consolidate their prior learning. During the minimum 140 hours of professional placement, students will design, implement and evaluate a strategy or project that has identifiable benefits for stakeholders in an industry/university partnership. This experience aims to assist students to fully participate as an emerging professional in the exercise science/human movement community, by investigating the operational requirements of the industry, assuming multiple roles and responsibilities, adopting ethical practice, and integrating their discipline, practical, interpersonal and reflective knowledge in authentic, real-world professional contexts. The subject provides opportunities for students to articulate their personal and professional suitability for employment in the exercise science, sports media and human movement related fields of the profession.
