Subject Description

In this subject students will have active experience working for a senior person with a policy-making and management role in a local government, non-government or community based organisation.

Students who complete this subject should have well-developed analytical, research, interviewing and report-writing skills enabling the provision of consultancy-type research services; and have high-level interpersonal skills developed through interaction with a range of people involving several tiers of government and a plurality of interests.
