ICT Professional Experience KIT706
Introduction
This unit aims to provide you with practical professional experience and improve your awareness of the issues associated with professional practice. In this unit you will undertake a directed, experiential learning opportunity in which you will apply your acquired knowledge and skills. This professional experience could take the form of an industry placement with an industry mentor or a R&D project with an academic mentor. This experience will give you the opportunity to consolidate and improve your professional capabilities. It is expected that you will spend around 20 hours per week on your professional experience. The specific tasks you will undertake will be determined in discussions between yourself, your mentor, and the unit coordinator. This will ensure appropriate standards are maintained and the tasks align to your career goals. A guided, personal enquiry, self-managed approach will be adopted, accompanied by web-based resources to direct student reflective learning to inform and improve future professional practice. Over the duration of the professional experience, the unit coordinator will liaise closely with yourself and the mentor.
