degree course subject to pre-requisites, avai 1 abi 1 i ty of the subject in the timetable and approval of the Head, School of Information Systems. The offering of a subject in any semester will depend on sufficient minimum enrolments in the subject, and the availability of staff.
5. INDUSTRIAL TRAINING EXPERIENCE (INB280) THE AIMS:
The purpose of the industrial training period is to provide students with experience of a real world environment prior to the study of the more advanced aspects of the course. This experience will:
(a) enable the student to place the concepts learnt in the first two years in context; and
(b) provide an experience that will enhance the benefits obtained from final year subjects.
The industrial training period will, necessarily, involve a period of re-orientation and on-the-job training but students will be expected to apply study skills to the acquisition of the necessary knowledge and, in general, employers will not be expected to provide formal training.
FEATURES:
(a) The Faculty will assist students to obtain suitable employment for the one year period and will also discuss the nature of the work to be undertaken with the employer.
(b) An academic member of staff will normally visit the student once per semester and discuss progress with the student and a representative of the employer.
(c) At the end of the training period the student will write a report on the total training period, submit it to the employer for endorsement and comment, and then hand it to the course co-ordinator for assessment.
(d) A pass in this module will be granted on the basis of:
(e)
satisfactory completion of an approved period of industrial training; and
submission of a satisfactory report on the year's experience. The report must be submitted not later than the commencement of the semester following the training period.
It is anticipated student by the period.
that a salary will be paid to the employer during this training
110 Bachelor of Business - Information Management
(f) The Faculty will carefully monitor all industrial placements and build up a list of employers prepared to offer training. When the scheme is fully established it is hoped that at least 50% of full-time students will undertake this option. The Faculty will make its best endeavours to find suitable training places for all students electing to undertake this option but it cannot guarantee such employment to each individual student who applies.
(g) Part-time students may apply for credit towards this option on the basis of their employment.
Credit would be granted on the basis of a two year period of full-time employment in an approved environment and comp 1 i ance with a number of administrative requirements:
a statement from the course co-ordinator that the arrangements have been discussed with the employer and that the proposed period of employment will provide appropriate work experience;
two annual visits by a member of academic staff to the student and employer; and
a satisfactory report, written by the student, endorsed by the employer and submitted no later than the commencement of the semester following the training period.
(h) It is intended that full-time students on the scheme will devote their prime efforts to the industrial training module and will not, therefore, be permitted to register for more than one other subject per semester during the training year.
