Course overview
In this course, students apply their understandings of potential pathways and career destinations through a Creative Arts Project centred on mentoring and networking experiences. Having researched potential pathways that are meaningful and relevant to their disciplinary interests, expertise and career aspirations, students will work on an approved project that will develop their career pathway.
