This topic provides students with opportunities for work experience within government and non-government agencies, businesses and other workplaces with a focus on some aspect relevant to the environment. The scope of 'environment' in these placements is broadly defined. Students will engage with their assigned local and/or interstate hosts to varying extents, including observation and shadowing, performing authentic workplace tasks under supervision, and preparing reports and presentations, depending on the agency.

The aims for this topic are to:

Provide students with the principles of good professional practice within a workplace context
Offer students opportunities for work experience within agencies and other organisations relevant to their environmental discipline
Broaden student perspectives on the nature of work opportunities within environmental disciplines

At the completion of this topic, students are expected to be able to:

Discuss the breadth of issues and topic areas relevant to work and careers in the environmental arena
Understand the policy, fiscal and/or commercial contexts in which environmental matters arise or are dealt with
Apply professional skills gained elsewhere in the program to a workplace context
Apply their knowledge to the ethical issues that relate to selected workplaces
Engage professionally with host institutions including national, state and local government agencies, non-government organisations and private enterprise
