This unit provides an opportunity for students to apply principles of agricultural science, develop transferable career skills and develop their professional network through a real-world learning experience in an agricultural workplace setting.

Students will identify career goals and then develop a project plan that will contribute to these goals. The main activity in this unit is a work placement with an organisation applying knowledge and skills relevant to agricultural industries. The placement will be minimum of 40 hours.

Students will apply skills in reflective practice to refine their career plan and develop a digital resource to demonstrate relevant workplace skills to potential employers.

This unit is not self-enrolled. Students need to apply (and be accepted) for a placement through the Work Integrated Learning SONIA system prior to enrolment.

Placements that involve working in agricultural workplace and/or travel outside of the metropolitan area and/or handling livestock require that students have completed specific pre-requisites. See enrolment rules for more information.
