This Capstone subject gives students the opportunity to apply
what they have learnt in a real world context. Depending upon the
vocational direction of each student, students will have the
opportunity either to be placed in a professional context that
reflects their post-graduation plans or to develop a portfolio
that showcases their capabilities. Either choice will allow
students to experience the demands of, and standards required by,
the industry and to demonstrate that they are ready to succeed as
capable professionals. Throughout this subject, students will be
refining a portfolio of their skills, experience, and
achievements which they can use in seeking employment.
