Description
This course introduces students to the key skills, and job ready skills which pay due diligence to both learning from Indigenous studies as well as developing applicable skills for modern day work and workplaces. This course provides students with the opportunity to build skills and knowledges within the particular lens of Indigenous work and enterprise, community building and cultural affirming practices. At the conclusion of the course, students will have developed level-appropriate research, communication and work focused skills that are vital for success in the Bachelor of Global Indigenous Studies and a range of potential career paths. Upon successful completion, students will also be able to demonstrate and apply a concrete understanding of the importance of centralising Indigenous studies' role in Indigenous knowledge creation, ethically conscious problem solving, and policy analysis.
