The Work Integrated Learning Module (CIM310) is a requirement for all Bachelor students and is a proven strategy of providing students with a transition from studies into industry. It is a valuable opportunity for students to gain industry experience, apply their technical knowledge in a practical environment, build their professional portfolio/network, and connect with like-minded professionals in the local creative and entertainment community.
Students can learn and gain experience in this ‘real-world' and feel the satisfaction of achieving a work placement in one or more organisations of interest. The ILCs (Industry Liaison Coordinators) will support students through processes and techniques for finding appropriate work placement.
