The skills that students learn in this unit will be useful both inside and outside of the workplace, at all stages of their career. Important topics such as ethics, change, and cultural diversity are discussed throughout to develop a holistic perspective. Students do not need to be in employment.

The seminar PowerPoint slides will be made available on Blackboard, as well as audio recordings of past lectures and copies of in-class exercise materials. Online students access the program via Blackboard and are expected to work through the slides, listen to the audio lectures, complete the exercises, and engage regularly on the online Discussion Board.
