Subject outline
The Future of Work engages students in an innovative and challenging learning experience. Starting from what they already know about work change, students will explore relevant literature and be supported to envisage future changes to work which they will present at a Future of Work Expo. Working within a collaborative, enquiry-based learning (EBL) framework, students will work individually and in teams to explore the literature and develop their expo concept for an event aimed at the local community. As well as providing students with the opportunity to develop research and discipline specific skills, this subject gives practical experience in project work, conducted in a collaborative team environment, which is a common feature of contemporary organisations. Students are supported to develop capabilities in teamwork, communication and analytic and problem-solving skills which are highly valued in the workplace. This subject complements studies in human resource management.
