Course overview
The aim of this course is for students to recognise, articulate, and apply their counselling and interpersonal skills by undertaking a 100-hour Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience. These experiences are designed to help you apply your psychological knowledge and counselling and interpersonal skills (introduced in Counselling Foundations, Counselling Skills, and Counselling Interventions) to a diverse range of real-world work situations to enhance your employability and make a meaningful contribution to the community.
