Course Summary
This Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course, Professional Apprentice 2 (PA2), is the second 48 credit point elective that provides you with the opportunity to continue the working and study relationship you commenced in Professional Apprentice 1 (PA1). The partner/sponsor organisations should be the same as previously. However, the position or role undertaken by the you in this period should be different in activity and/or responsibility from the work delivered in PA1.
Again, you are expected to work around 480 hours in total for the approved host industry partner. This should be undertaken at one time, for example 12+ weeks in a 'full-time' capacity spread across the semester or teaching period. Using the Fair Work Commission guidelines, RMIT recommends that you should receive 100% remuneration at the current minimum wage level or above.
In addition to the workplace experience and supported on-the-job learning that this apprenticeship provides, you will be individually mentored by RMIT experts from disciplines relevant to your apprenticeship role, and will have access to exclusive professional and career-development opportunities through the College of Business and Law's Professional Practice Academy.
Process/Requirements:
- An update of the WIL Agreement must be completed by you, the host organisation, and RMIT University to confirm the dates of this course placement period.
- As with PA1 this course cannot be used for self-employment, alternative courses are available for this where required.
- The internship and associated documents must be recorded in the university's InPlace WIL system.
- Assessment requirements should be read and understood prior to commencing your internship.
