Top of pageExternal accreditation and industry links
This program area has a robust Industry Advisory Committee (IAC) which comprises a range of industry representatives from various businesses areas and RMIT teachers. The IAC has been involved in the development of the program structure, the choice of units appropriate to the field of leadership and management, emerging job performance requirements, and in the provision of flexible industry options for existing workers.
Teachers maintain close contact with industry through various professional development activities.
Teachers regularly engage guest speakers for the program. All learners participate in classes where they are assisted to make connections between theoretical concepts and the workplace. In some cases this is their own workplace. Mentoring and coaching by the teacher in order to assist learners to make this connection is a major design feature of this program.
