Managing risk in work-integrated learning
Led by Dr Craig Cameron from Griffith University in Australia
Craig describes the workshop as:
Work-integrated learning poses ethical, legal, reputation, strategic, operational and financial risks for higher education. So what are some of the key risks and how can you manage them? In this hands-on workshop, I will equip you with the nuts and bolts of risk management, followed by group activities that explore recent conundrums experienced by WIL practitioners.
