Description

Do you believe in a fairer, more equitable society? Would you like to be a part of finding solutions that mean a better future for your country?

Whether your career lies in business, not-for-profit, social enterprise or government, this is a course about how you can meaningfully contribute to creating better social outcomes. Whether your course of study is business, law, the arts, social sciences, built environment, engineering or medicine, you can learn how to apply your skills to benefit the community.

Using context from real and complex social issues which policy makers, industry leaders and social service providers grapple with every day, we will explore models for system change, social innovation, cross-sectoral collaboration and much more. You will complete the course with a broad understanding of social systems and the keys to initiating and sustaining positive social change in a world full of competitive priorities, you will learn to communicate with the future employers your understanding of social sustainability.

You will explore local and global trends through a range of case and you will have the rare opportunity to hear directly from experts in business, government and social purpose organisations who have initiated social change with success.
