Professional Skills III has two equally-weighted components:1] Communication theory and skills, and 2] Professional Internship. In component 1, Communication theory and skills is coursework undertaken across Semester 2, in Year 3. Students will learn how to analyse their individual strengths and weaknesses and how they can prepare themselves for a career in Agriculture. To do this they will be exposed to concepts in self-awareness and employability, ethics and sustainability, Teamwork and Leadership and solving difficult situations, Project Management, and extension projects, Written, Oral and Social communication and Critical Thinking and Problem Solving. In component 2, skills in the Professional Internship will be reported and a personal development plan submitted. The Internship is a period of 12 weeks employment engaged from mid-year of Year 2 until end of Semester 2 of Year 3. Work can be conducted in areas that are related to agricultural science, including research, agribusiness, agricultural production (including farm experience) and related industries such as food processing, veterinary, livestock, wildlife, and natural resource management. By completing the internship students will achieve the following outcomes: - (i) Apply knowledge gained in the undergraduate program to a professional working environment; (ii) Develop a deeper understanding of work in areas of professional agricultural or animal science practice; (iii) Develop a professional approach and attitude to work; and (iv) Enhance their ability to synthesise information and present it in written reports |
