Course Summary
This course includes a Work Integrated Learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real workplace context and where feedback from industry is integral to your experience.
You will participate in pre- and post-placement workshops at RMIT and write a logbook during your placement that will be reviewed by your RMIT supervisor. Pre-placement workshop will help develop your skills to find work and be successful in the workplace. Logbook will help you reflect on your success and challenges in the workplace, and learn from your experience. Post-placement workshop will help you reflect on your placement and identify evidence of your skills that will enhance your future job seeking.
It is your task to find your work placement position. This task helps you develop a critical career skill: to look for suitable roles and perform well in the application process.
You will work for at least 10 weeks full time (or 50 days in several blocks or approximately 370 hours part time) in industry, under the supervision of a qualified aviation practitioner, undertaking aviation work, to develop industry relevant skills, knowledge, and attributes.
Aviation Professional Experience is normally undertaken in the summer vacation between the penultimate and final year of study, but can be undertaken earlier.
