Description

This subject blends both practical and theoretical components to enhance student employability in the field of sport management. The practical component involves a structured and supervised 100-hour vocational experience that is tailored to address placement objectives mutually agreed upon between you, the industry partner, and the instructor.  The end result is a first-hand experience of the reality of the sport management workplace while evaluating your own strengths and weaknesses to enhance your work readiness. The in-class component equips you with tools not only to maximise your placement experience and achieve related outcomes but also to develop a flexible career strategy and ultimately, the ability to successfully communicate your own professional brand to potential employers.
