Assessment Type 3: Industry Project (30%)

For a 10-credit subject the industry project should be a maximum of 750 words if written or a maximum of 5 minutes if oral, or the equivalent in multimodal form.

For a 20-credit subject the industry project should be a maximum of 1500 words if written or a maximum of 9 minutes if oral, or the equivalent in multimodal form. 

For this assessment type students individually select an area of interest or skill(s) relevant to their selected industry for individual focused development.

Students undertake a project and in doing so demonstrate planning, organisation, problem solving and decision-making skills appropriate to the project. For students already consistently immersed in industry this may include a significant task they are responsible for.

Students make connections between the specific knowledge and skills they are applying and one or more chosen capabilities. In making these connections they also consider the benefits and future possibilities of their industry project to the industry and themselves.

Ideally, students will make a relevant industry connection when planning their industry project however, where a resource is not locally available, students should be encouraged to reach out to a relevant connection.

• Connection may be interpreted in its broadest sense, e.g. the connections may be made in-person, or in a digital environment. 

Evidence of the industry project

Students may provide evidence of their industry project in a range, and combination of forms including but not limited to:

• interviews
• videos
• audio recordings
• oral presentations
• demonstrations
• annotated photographs 
• photo stories
• podcasts and/or websites
• reviews/reports
• screen captures of emails or other digital communications

Multimodal evidence is encouraged to capture planning activities, strategies to implement activity discussions with others, activity being undertaken, and communication of connectedness and future possibilities.

The following specific features of the assessment design criteria are assessed in the external assessment:

• Application and Connection — AC1, AC2 and AC3.
