The quality of work performed by graduates in the agricultural sector depends on their competence and the values they hold with respect to the community and environment in which they operate. This course is the first in a series of Work Integrated Learning courses throughout the program designed to develop the knowledge, skills, attributes, reflective disposition and identity that agricultural technology graduates need to succeed in the program and workforce.
