What will be in the course?
The Creative Industries course uses the Design Thinking process to provide students practical, hands-on learning experiences across a variety of creative industries. In this course, students work in authentic environments, utilising the Osmond Street Precinct’s Café and Osmond Street Studio.
The course embraces real-world applications, with students developing industry skills across a range of learning areas that may include café operations and barista skills, food development, entrepreneurial applications, graphic design, and the applied design fields of ceramics, textiles, fashion or jewellery design. Students move through a range of practical learning experiences within the course and work together to develop projects with genuine purpose and audience.
In this course, students take responsibility for their own learning, developing transversal skills including creative and entrepreneurial thinking, personal and social skills, while building agency to prosper in a variety of future pathways. A strong focus is placed on goal setting, collaboration, problem-solving, organisation and leadership.
Students who are interested in working independently to set their own learning goals, and working with a team to put them into practical action will be well suited to this subject.
As this course involves working in real-world situations, such as running a functioning café, markets, pop-up events and studio enterprise, out-of-hours commitment including early mornings may be required.
