'SA Employers and International Students: Engineering a future together' student feedback DVD
In 2007 UniSA Career Services, the Division of
Information Technology, Engineering and the Environment (ITEE) and a number
of South Australian employers collaborated to deliver a pilot course
designed to develop the skills,
knowledge and understanding required for international students to be
competitive in the South Australian labour market.
Funded by the Department of Trade and Economic
Development (DTED), the course was delivered to just over 400 international
post graduate engineering students studying either
Advanced Manufacturing and
Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical and Information Engineering. In
addition to workshops related to professional and interpersonal
communication in the Australian workplace, a number of selected students
undertook a work placement.
The results of the pilot were collated and reported in
a document entitled 'SA Employers and International Students: Engineering a future together'
(Berry 2007). Highlights of students' verbal feedback appear in a short
DVD.
