The capstone unit in the Bachelor of Business Transformation is a work-integrated learning (WIL) professional placement or internship. Each WIL project is unique and tailored to meet the student’s learning needs and objectives, as well as the characteristics and requirements of the host partner organisation. Professional placements are undertaken during the final semester (or two semesters part-time) of the Bachelor of Business Transformation. Students must negotiate the scope and outcomes of the project with the WIL Unit Coordinator and a Corporate Mentor prior to commencing.

Contact hours vary according to the details of the placement but align with the expected commitment of a 10-point unit, which is around 12 hours each week over 12 weeks, or equivalent, up to 170 hours. All placements involve three key components: (1) completion of online learning tasks to ensure the student is prepared for professional activities and conduct (10 hours); (2) direct contact experience with a host organisation (approximately 120 hours); and (3) individual preparation, reflection, and assessment (approximately 40 hours). Some placements may require additional compulsory orientation and induction activities.

The capstone placement is designed to build and demonstrate professionalism, collaborative abilities, application of theoretical knowledge and disciplinary skills, analysis of and critical reflection on professional activities and learning experiences, and the ability to communicate clearly and professionally in a range of formats.
