Name: Sarah Collyer-Braham

Program: Core component of the Global Experience Program
Course: BUSS1056 – Global Experience Professional Development
Year level: 1
Class size: 126 (two classes of 63)
Activity type: Industry Presentation & Networking session.

Aim: For students to engage with high level staff on a particular topic (career management, networking and intercultural communication), and for them to have the opportunity to network afterwards. The course is open as an elective for any student in an undergraduate degree at UniSA-we encourage enrolment from all disciplines.

Description: The course covers three topics; career management, networking and intercultural communication. At the conclusion of each topic a member of industry at a high level gives a presentation from their own perspective on that topic and encourages questions and engagement from students. This is then followed by a one hour networking session which includes food and drinks to enable students to practice their networking skills. Students are encouraged to treat it like a real-life experience and dress appropriately. Students are also encouraged to bring business cards.
