Description
Option 1: For Graduate Certificate of Social Impact Students only
This course applies the cumulative learning of students' three previous social impact courses so it cannot be studied until the student has completed three core Graduate Certificate of Social Impact courses. It places students, through negotiation, with an agreed suitable host, in a practical working environment with a social impact focus. Students may choose to work individually, or in a team of two.
Students will work at least one day a fortnight at a host organisation’s premises on a project with a social impact focus agreed between the organisation, the Graduate Certificate in Social Impact Program Director and the student(s).
Suitable projects should come from any of the areas studied in the other Graduate Certificate courses: social enterprises, the measurement of social value creation, social finance, leadership for social impact, corporate responsibility and accountability. The course has no formal classes; all sessions are arranged between the supervisor and the student. The course requires a written interim and final report.
The Lecturer in Charge for this class is Associate Professor Cheryl Kernot.
Option 2: For Master of Commerce, Master of Commerce Extension and other Masters Students]
This course is a capstone course in the form of a practicum for the MCom and MCom (Ext) and so should be studied in the final semester of the program in place of the nominated capstone of the main specialisation. However there may be instances where students can make a case to the Program Director for permission to vary this.
This course aims to provide students with the opportunity to build on in a practical way, and apply, their cumulative learning from the courses they have studied.
This course works with The Social Impact Hub who identify industry, social enterprises, not-for-profits and foundations to develop and conduct a variety of applied projects in different areas of social impact.
Students enrolled in the MCom or MCom (Extension) are selected by the Social Impact Hub course coordinator on the basis of a competitive application process prior to the start of the semester.
Students will work at least one day a fortnight sometimes off campus on a project with a social impact focus agreed between the organisation, the Social Impact Hub course coordinator and the student(s).
General but not exhaustive criteria for enrolment are: students entering their final semester for the MCom/MCom (Ext), academic merit (high WAM), genuine interest in social impact, any extra-curricular activities or experience in related fields.
