This is consistent with the Unit Learning Outcomes and Deakin College Transitional Attributes. Page 2 of 6 Requirements There are a number of key sections of content that you need to address. These are outlined below. Additionally, another key criteria in this assessment is the use of appropriate business formatting and language (i.e. develop the assessment in a business report format). 1. Identify an industry of interest to you. Research and critically analyse industry trends for your selected target industry. Forecast potential changes for the next 5 years. What are the factors causing change at the moment? Consider presenting this in three parts: a) What jobs are expected to change or disappear? b) Why is this happening? c) What changes do you forecast for the next 5 years? Suitable methods for addressing this section and suggestions for suitable sources will be covered in seminars and podcasts. You should expect that you will need a minimum of 5-6 references for this section. Please make sure that the references are current. News articles and academic journal articles from the last 24 months are recommended. Suggested word count: 400 – 600 words 2. Research and select a job cluster. Consider presenting this in two parts: a) Why did you choose this job cluster? (see the readings supplied for weeks 1 and 2) b) What skills and knowledge are expected? i. Personal soft skills (e.g. teamwork, communication) ii. Technical knowledge and skills (e.g. database management, customer service, bookkeeping, event management, social media campaign analysis) Suitable methods for addressing this section and suggestions for suitable sources will be covered in seminars and podcasts. You should expect that you will need a minimum of 2-3 references for this section. Suggested word count: 300-400 words 3. Review your current capabilities, discipline knowledge and areas where you are developing skills or knowledge. First, complete the assessment tools in Career Guru listed below. Instructions are shown in the Assignment 1 folder and your Week 2 slides. Make sure you save the PDF or take a screen shot of the results. Full copies of these will be presented in your appendices. a. Temperament b. Learning Styles c. Resilience Page 3 of 6 In the body of your report, present a list or diagram showing your key findings. Then discuss your findings. Consider presenting this in three parts: a) Review your experiences and identify relevant experiences and results that showcase your abilities. Use the SHAPES tool to analyse your habits and abilities. Note that you will have the opportunity in seminars to discuss these, but suggestions may include community or volunteer activities, school leadership roles, sporting activities or casual work. b) Review your academic performance to date. Are there any units where you have done well, shown specific abilities, or particularly enjoyed? c) Discuss your key findings clearly demonstrating your strengths and areas for improvement. In seminars 1-3 you will be introduced to a number of self-assessment tools and activities. Suggested word count: 600 – 700 words 4. Prepare a Gap Analysis and SWOT. Consider presenting this in two parts: a. Describe the skills and knowledge that you need to develop to meet industry standards. b. Prepare a SWOT showing your strengths and weaknesses (from section 3) and opportunities and threats from section 1 and 2. Consider presenting this in a table format. Examples and suggestions will be covered in seminars 2-3. Suggested word count: 200-300 words 5. Presentation and formatting The assessment must be presented in a Business report format. Tips on how to structure a business report can be found here: http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/studying/study-support/academic-skills/reportwriting. As a business report, it is expected that your work will be free from errors (spelling and grammatical). It is strongly recommended that you proof read your work and use a grammar and spell check application prior to submission. The Word limit is 1500 -2000 words. This does not include Cover Page, Executive Summary, Table of Contents and Reference List. Use clear, precise language for all sections. Business writing requires the author to write for a business audience. Business audiences expect that you will introduce the topic, present all the key findings or information and then provide a clear result. The result may be a summary of your findings or conclusion at the end of this assignment. Students must correctly use the Harvard style of referencing and report format. Page 4 of 6 Use a clear font such as Times New Roman, Arial, Calibri or Tahoma. Text font size should be 12 pt. Any tables or diagrams should be 10 pt. Headings must be bold. Use headings effectively to show the reader how you have structured your work. It is useful to number your headings; effective number can help the reader/marker identify content relating to the three areas outlined above. A business report template that you may use is provided in the instructions. Submission Instructions Your work must be submitted as a word document or PDF. You must keep a backup copy of every assignment you submit, until the marked assignment has been returned to you. In the unlikely event that one of your assignments is misplaced or corrupted, you will need to submit your backup copy. Any work you submit may be checked by electronic or other means for the purposes of detecting collusion and/or plagiarism. When you are required to submit an assignment through your Moodle unit site, you should check that you can see your assignment in the Submissions view of the Assignment dropbox folder after upload, and check for, and keep, the email receipt for the submission. Please note: when your submission is being marked, the assignment drop box will be hidden. You will not be able to view your submission during this time. Late submission Extensions can only be approved by your lecturer or the Unit Coordinator. Extensions can be granted for documented serious illness (not just on the day the assignment is due!) or for compassionate reasons under special circumstances. The Unit Coordinator or your lecturer can ask to see how much work hasbeen completed before granting anextension. You will be asked to provide evidence to support your request. Work or holiday reasons or other assignments are NOT grounds for an extension – you are expected to managethese issues as part of your studies. You are strongly encouraged to start early and to continually back up your assignment as you progress. Computer crashes or corrupted files will NOT be accepted as valid reasons for an extension of any length. You may find further information about this in the Unit Outline. Penalties for late submission The following marking penalties will apply if you submit an assessment task after the due date without an approved extension: 10% will be deducted from available marks for each day up to five days, and work that is submitted more than five days after the due date will not be marked. You will receive 0% for the task. ‘Day’ means calendar day for electronic submissions. The Unit Coordinator may refuse to accept a late submission where it is unreasonable or impracticable to assess the task after the due date. Page 5 of 6 Turnitin Students are strongly recommended to check originality through Turnitin, prior to submitting the final assessment. The core report must be your own work. Your appendices may show a similarity level of more than 20% due to the similarity of headings and explanations. Referencing You must correctly use the Harvard style of referencing Academic Integrity, Plagiarism and Collusion Plagiarism and collusion constitute extremely serious breaches of academic integrity. They are forms of cheating, and severe penalties are associated with them, including cancellation of marks fora specific assignment, for a specific unit or even exclusion from the course. If you are ever in doubt about how to properly use and cite a source of information, consult your lecturer or Study Support Plagiarism occurs when a student passes off as the student’s own work, or copies without acknowledgement as to its authorship, the work of any other person or resubmits their own work from a previous assessment task. Collusion occurs when a student obtains the agreement of another person for a fraudulent purpose, with the intent of obtaining an advantage in submitting an assignment orother work. Work submitted may be reproduced and/or communicated by the university for the purpose of assuring academic integrity ofsubmissions. For more information about academic misconduct, special consideration, extensions, and assessment feedback, please refer to the Unit Outline. Can I recycle my own work? Deakin students are not permitted to recycle their assessment work, or parts of assessment work, without the approval of the Unit Coordinator of their current unit. This includes work submitted for assessment at another academic institution. If students wish to reuse or extend parts of previously submitted work, then they should discuss this with the Unit Coordinator prior to the submission date. Note that for Assignment 2, you will rely on information you developed for Assignment 1. Depending on the nature of the task, the Unit Coordinator may permit or decline the request. Page 6 of 6 Additional Material There are a range of additional personality tests that might be fun or useful to explore. http://this.deakin.edu.au/careers/whats-your-professional-personality-the-careers-quiz https://www.16personalities.com/ When taking a test for an assessment you should never have to pay. Please be mindful of the tests you complete online. Deakin does not control or monitor material outside of Deakin. How do I create a Table of Contents? MS WORD can help you set up a table of contents. To do this, go to REFERENCES in the top MS WORD ribbon (alongside HOME, INSERT, and DESIGN). Then click on the Table of Contents icon. When you need to update your Table of Contents, simply right click on the table and select update entire table. The MS WORD table of contents creator requires that you make use of the Style ribbon and the Heading outlined within.
