Career Development & Planning
This subject is not based on competencies.
This subject involves the development of a reflective diary which provides the student with an opportunity to record their work and learning experiences while enrolled in the Diploma of Information Technology.
Over the duration of the course the student will build a professional resume and keep a reflective diary to enhance and improve performance and future planning. An experienced ACS mentor will be assigned to each student, who will guide the student through this process and work to develop student career opportunities.
This mentored subject will commence at the end of the first subject and continue throughout the rest of the course, assisting the student to establish both immediate short term plus longer term career goals.
Electives (students chose one of the following Streams – two subjects for each stream, plus a Work Based Project):
Work Based Project
The Work Based Project is the capstone subject of the Diploma of Information Technology. This subject will run in conjunction with the elective stream.
This subject provides a bridge between classroom theory and workplace practice through the undertaking of a specific work based project that will involve undertaking research and proposing solutions to a real life situation or problem in the workplace.
Undertaking the work based project requires each student to apply the knowledge and skills developed in the subjects throughout the Diploma of Information Technology program and to further develop these acquired skills.
Students will work through the process of defining their work based project, design an appropriate strategy, gather and analyse data, formulate and evaluate options and make recommendations to address the problem they have identified.
