Australian and First Nations Business Immersion

This course aims to expose students to the distinctive industry environments of selected regions in Australia through site visits to local government agencies, businesses, and communities. It will also allow students to explore the unique context of First Nations businesses and communities, examining their roles, challenges, and strengths within these industry environments. For example, students could consider how the traditional owners could balance economic independence with industry requirements, government legislation and cultural obligations. The over-arching goal of the course is to showcase the importance of using local resources and expertise to sustain local economies and promote equity for businesses and communities. This course will also emphasise personal and professional development in key areas such as leadership, management, marketing, entrepreneurship and business. The course will typically involve a visit of up to 5 days in the selected regions in Australia. Students will be selected to enrol in the course following a competitive application process. Specific details for each immersion program will be published on the College of Business and Economics website. Students will only be permitted to travel upon completion of ANU required documentation, including, where required, the travel to a high risk destination form and the approval of all documentation by the relevant delegate. Disclaimer: Applicants are advised that due to circumstances beyond the University's control (for example, specific security concerns and health crises), it may not be possible for students to commence or complete this course as advertised.
