Course Description
The Portfolio component of the Professional Skills Program (PSP) is a full-time one semester course. PSP provides an alternative to the Co-operative Year in industry and acts as a safety net for students who do not undertake Co-operative Education.
If you are undertaking this course in Melbourne from semester 2, 2012 onwards your teacher will advise you if you require access to a computer for the course. It is recommended that you have access to a mobile computing device to allow greater flexibility in terms of where you can work on campus outside class times.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
The Portfolio aims to specifically focus and build on the skills, capabilities and knowledge that you have personally developed or acquired in your first two years of study. In particular the Portfolio goals link directly to that aim of achieving employment outcomes. You will be supported in goal setting to develop strategies in areas you and the academic in charge of the course consider require development. A range of activities to assist goal setting, provoke reflection and improve employability are provided.
At the conclusion of the course you should be able to:
- better understand the need for a career focus
- communicate in a business/community culture to achieve outcomes
- reflect on your beliefs and assumptions, values, perceptions and behaviours.
- demonstrate an improved understanding of leadership
- demonstrate improved organisational skills
Overview of Learning Activities
Personal Skills Development: students establish learning goals at the beginning of the semester. Opportunities are provided throughout the semester through skills development seminars and a weekly “Portfolio Group” to work on these goals. Goal achievement is then examined through the production of a reflective portfolio.
Learning events include workshops, seminars, industry visits and occasional guest speakers from industry.
Overview of Learning Resources
Resources will include
• Presentation slides
• Print materials and other refererences
• Online support resources in the DLS

Overview of Assessment
The learning portfolio comprises two assessable components, Portfolio Outline & Portfolio. The Portfolio Outline should list your learning goals, strategies and timeframes and include sound reason based reflection. The Portfolio provides evidence of work undertaken and a detailed reflection of the learning process.
