The Postgraduate Internship is a capstone Work Integrated Learning (WIL) unit for Master&#39;s students. This unit provides students with first-hand professional work experience, combined with employability development activities to produce job and career-ready graduates. Students are required to further develop, apply and demonstrate their professional competencies in an applied context under the direction of a supervisor from a relevant industry, university, government or not-for-profit organisation. Students will complete a minimum of 420 hours on the supervised internship project/s plus an additional 100 hours on skill and employability development workshops, activities and assessment tasks. Students are required to prepare and submit a learning plan for their internship, weekly log books and a final internship presentation.  Through the assessments students will reflect on their development of technical skills and general employment capabilities in the workplace. The internship supervisor helps the student identify relevant skill development plans and track their progress. They also provide both ongoing feedback and final evaluations of the student&#39;s performance. Enrolment conditions: This subject is intended to be taken in the last semester of the degree. Students must complete the pre-requisite unit SC5200 in their preceding semesters. Internship positions are to be arranged in consultation with the JCU Student Placement team 3-4 months before they begin. Students must follow the procedures outlined in their LearnJCU course organisation site regarding these arrangements. Note that students are responsible for any travel and accommodation expenses associated with the internship unless it is provided for by the workplace organisation.
